Fruit cakes: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a range of baked goods that typically contain dried fruit, often with spices and nuts. Examples include fruit cake bars, traditional fruit cakes, and Welsh cakes. These products are often a source of carbohydrates and can contribute to energy intake. The ingredient list will show the types of fruit and flour used, and their position indicates relative quantity. For example, a higher position for wholemeal flour might indicate a greater proportion of whole grain. The nutrition label provides information on energy content, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, and salt. The sugars content is particularly relevant, as guidance from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) recommends limiting free sugars. Salt content is also declared, and the UK's Department of Health and Social Care advises adults to consume no more than 6g of salt per day. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
