Details
Coconut water naturally contains potassium and magnesium. However, companies only need to list these on the nutrition information panel (NIP) if they make a health claim about it, like "high in potassium".
All Healthier Choice Symbol (HCS) products must show certain core nutrients on the NIP. These are:
- Energy
- Protein
- Total fat
- Saturated fat
- Cholesterol
- Carbohydrates
- Total sugar
- Dietary fibre
- Sodium
Other nutrients are optional unless the company wants to highlight them with a health claim.
