Bakery products: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a wide range of baked goods, from bread and rolls to cakes, pastries, and biscuits. These products are often a source of carbohydrates, providing energy. The ingredient list typically shows the types of flour used, with wholemeal or wholewheat flours often appearing higher up for products marketed as whole grain. Sugars and fats are also common ingredients, contributing to flavour and texture. The nutrition label provides details on energy content, fat (including saturated fat), sugars, and salt. For some products, such as bread, fibre content is also declared. The NHS Eatwell Guide suggests that starchy carbohydrates should form the basis of meals, with whole grain versions being a good source of fibre. The ingredient list will also show the order in which ingredients are used, with those present in the largest quantities listed first. Salt content is also declared on the nutrition label, and the UK government advises adults to consume no more than 6g of salt per day. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
