Learn about the Big 8 nutrients: energy, fat, sugar & more. Find out why they are mandatory and how they guide healthier food choices.
Things worth knowing about "Big 8 Nutrients"
The Big 8 nutrients refer to the eight key nutrition facts that must be declared on almost all prepackaged foods under the EU Food Information Regulation.
The Big 8 nutrients include: energy value, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, salt, and sometimes fiber as an additional item. They help consumers better understand and compare the nutritional content of foods.
Values are usually expressed per 100 grams or 100 milliliters, allowing for direct comparison between products regardless of portion size. Many manufacturers also provide information per serving, giving a more realistic picture of actual intake. For certain products such as dietary supplements, additional declarations may be required.
The Big 8 are an important tool for promoting healthy eating choices. They make it easier to monitor fat, sugar, and saltintake and help consumers select foods that fit their individual dietary needs – whether for weight management, sports nutrition, or managing specific health conditions.
