Table 5.

Suggested changes to protein labelling as requested by questionnaire respondents (respondents could choose more than one response), n = 246.

Recommendations
Foods should be labelled with a warning on the packaging if the recipe has changed (60%, n = 148/246); Protein should be given for cooked and uncooked weights (58%, n = 142/246); Protein analysis should be given per 100 g as well as per portion size (55%, n = 136/246); Protein analysis should be given per 100 g rather than per 100 mL (53%, n = 130/246); The ingredients list should be made to be more easily readable (51%, n = 125/246); Protein amount should always be identified, even at 0.1 g/100 g (n = 48%, n = 119/246); Protein value should always be given for dried weight (42%, n = 103/246); None (1%, n = 2/246).
