The soy "yogurt" says "high protein". The yogurt contains 3.7 grams of protein per 100 grams. That is less than in "normal" yogurt, namely 4.3 g per 100 g. Why does it say high protein? That's not true at all🤔

I've already communicated this - it's a pure sales strategy and a big annoyance for us customers. .....

The Foodstuffs Act (817.022.21, Annex 766, Art. 29c para. 2 and 29d para. 1, p. 45) stipulates that a food may only bear the title "high protein" if at least 20% of the energy content (calories) comes from protein. So here: 3.7 x 4.125 calories (1g protein has 4.125 calories) = 15.26 calories, a natural soy yoghurt has around 46 calories per 100g, so the 15.26 calories are around a third of this, more than 20%, so the title "high protein" is correct; in the case of a soy Bircher muesli, the energy content per 100g is 85 calories, here Migros writes "source of protein", this designation is also correct, as it applies from a protein content of 12% of the total calories. From this point of view: Legally speaking, everything is in the green...

By the way: Brussels sprouts are "high protein" - have around 45 calories, of which around 4g are protein, 4 x 4.125 kcal = 16.5 calories = 37% of the total calories come from protein = "high protein content" = "high protein". :-)

Interesting, thank you!
Hello Yoliboli, we have just received the statement and it is in line with the interesting information from Twilight: "The claim "high protein content" is defined in the law (Ordinance of the Federal Department of Home Affairs on Food Information) - it may be used if the protein content of the product accounts for at least 20% of the total energy value. This is the case with the soy yogurt alternative." Kind regards, Mia
