Which nutrition claims do prunes satisfy?
Prunes meet the condition for a high fibre claim, holding 7.1 grams per 100 grams against a threshold of 6 grams. They are also high in potassium and vitamin K and a source of copper. The European Union has authorised wordings for each of those nutrients that may be used on the label.
