Figures are UK CoFID (McCance and Widdowson) values scaled from 100 g to the amount shown. “No data” means UK CoFID publishes no value for this food — not that it contains none. Added sugars and glycemic index are not shown: the food composition datasets we use do not publish them. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate (fibre not included), as CoFID publishes it; fibre is AOAC fibre. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
