In the EU in general and Germany in particular, nutrition labeling of foods is voluntary. But not if the food contains nutritional information and advertising is done with such information. Who wants to sell his salami then marked "sugar" and "high fiber" and turns even advertising, to say, "enjoy our low-sugar and high in fiber salami-hearted", which must indicate the nutritional values of sugar and ballast open on the salami and some minimum standards and conditions. Low sugar high fiber and may call the salami, if g in 100 of its more than 5 g sugar and at least 6 grams of fiber are included. Are there such Salamis? Fast. I have recently seen as a salami, which brought it to 0 g sugar and at least 2 grams of fiber per 100 grams of salami. The only thing missing to this salami as a healthy snack, because sugar-free and high in fiber, to bring out are just a few more shavings.
Returning back to the beginning. Nutrition labeling of foods is strictly voluntary and therefore it is of course not be trusted. For example, here is the vegetarian pizza from Lidl. Everybody can stand on the following:
who only looks at the numbers of states that the data refer to half a pizza! Well actually it is expected that an adult eats an entire pizza alone. Ie, pizza alone already covers 60% of the daily allowance for adults (!) Of salt. Considering how popular is pizza at children and young people, you do not need to worry about that corrupts the youth, then cured as it is.
Probably based Lidl the information only on half a pizza, because you're not the customer wanted to enjoy the pizza too salty ... but in fact it does.
