For the purposes of this Decree:
and nutritional value labelling)-all the information to be provided on the packaging indicating the
1. the energy value,
2. nutrients, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, sodium, vitamins
or mineral substances, listed in the annex, occurring in the food in
significant quantities; a significant amount of means the value of vitamins and
mineral substances is higher than 15% of the recommended daily dose in 100 g or

the nutrients in the food, with regard to the changes of the annual period, consumer
practices and other factors that may cause fluctuations in the current
values.
§ 3
Nutrition claims may relate only to the energy value, nutrients
referred to in section 2 (a). and) point 2 and substances that belong to a certain group
these nutrients or their components.
§ 4
(1) the energy value shall be calculated using the following conversion
coefficients for 1 g of the substance:
and) carbohydrates, except polyols 17 kJ = 4 kcal
(b)) polyols 2.4 kcal kJ = 10
(c)) 17 kJ protein = 4 kcal
(d)), fats (triglycerides) 37 kJ = 9 kcal
e) alcohol 29 kJ = 7 kcal
f) organic acids 13 kJ = 3 kcal
g) fibre 8 kJ = 2 kcal
h) erythritol 0 kJ = 0 kcal.
(2) the conversion rate for the salatrimy, which means the fats
energy-reduced foods sorted between the new type, shall be
for 1 gram of a substance as follows:
salatrimy 25 kJ-6 kcal.
§ 5
Placing the nutritional value is saved in the cases provided for by law ^ 7)
