The tables below put each macronutrient against age-appropriate guidance, because what matters for a 4 year old is very different from an adult.
A serving (about 125g) contains about 2.5g of sugar. In a flavoured instant product this comes from the sauce and flavouring rather than occurring naturally, so it counts as free sugar toward the daily limit the NHS sets. The table shows that limit by age.
Fresh Egg Tagliatelle is naturally high in fat, at about 3.75g per portion, though most of it is unsaturated. Only around 0.88g is saturated and there is 0g of added fat.
Fibre supports healthy digestion, and most people in the UK do not get enough. A portion provides about 3.12g. Because children need less fibre than adults, that same portion covers a bigger share of a younger child's target.
There is about 62.5g of carbohydrate per portion. There is no single daily target, but roughly half of daily energy should come from carbohydrate; the reference values below are based on that.
Starchy foods also add protein to the day, about 13.8g per portion. Wholegrain versions and wheat pasta give a little more than white rice. The table shows how that compares with the daily amount by age.
Percentages are share of the daily Nutrient Reference Value (NRV). Under UK and EU rules a food is a source of a nutrient at 15% NRV per 100g and high in it at 30%.
These tables show how the nutrients compare to daily needs across different ages, using UK Reference Nutrient Intakes (RNIs). This differs from the source of and high in labels above, which use the single adult figure (NRV) set for food packaging. Children's needs are lower, so a portion goes further.
Selenium helps protect cells from damage and supports the immune system. A serving (about 125g) contains 31ug. Because children need less than adults, that same portion covers a bigger share of a younger child's daily target.
Folate is needed to make healthy red blood cells and is especially important before and during pregnancy. A serving (about 125g) contains 50ug. Because children need less than adults, that same portion covers a bigger share of a younger child's daily target.
Niacin (B3) helps release energy from food and keeps skin and the nervous system healthy. A serving (about 125g) contains 2.5mg. Because children need less than adults, that same portion covers a bigger share of a younger child's daily target.
