A study by Aistila Oy in spring 2020 examined the vitamin and mineral content of Seed Crispbreads and Seed Chips of the Seed Crispies product family. Samples of the examined products were collected from two different batches, and they were submitted to the Eurofins Scientific Finland laboratory for a vitamin and mineral analysis.
The analysed contents of vitamins and minerals were examined to find an average of the researched compounds, and the contents were compared to daily reference intakes for each compound. This way it could be determined whether the products contain a significant amount of nutrients that would allow the use of nutrition and health claims. The results for the Oat & Chia Seed Crispbread are based on a study by Aistila in 2018.
Nutrition claim refers to a claim regarding the useful nutritional content in food, such as “source of magnesium” and “high in magnesium”.
