Calories in Cusine de France rolls?

oneintotwo

I'm having a hard time finding nutritional info for Cusine de France demi baguettes. Calorie sites range from 130 to 400, and I'm presuming they all just pulled that figure out of their arse. Cusine de Frances website doesn't have it either. Isn't it legally required?

Anyway, does anyone have any info on this?

They do have semi baked ones in plastic packages that have nutitional data on them. Or if u cant get that weigh it and estimate calories by looking at how many calories are in white bread of the same weight.

AFAIK they are equal to about 3 or 4 slices of bread. So I'm guessing knocking 400 cals.

That seems like a rather low figure. I would have thought it would be around double that. I have no figures but I know that 3 slices of brown bread would be in an around 280 kcal?

3 slices from a sliced pan would be around 250-280 alright.

Not really into Cuisine de France rolls. There is something plain wrong or artificial about them. I have had baguettes in France. They usually have a light crispy outer surface and a fluffy center. lovely... The ones from Cuisine De France, will cut the roof of your mouth or Gums and are very doughy inside.

Not that this matters now as I have been doing Atkins for the last 3 weeks and am losing weight nicely...:):):):)

Don't really eat them myself but i had some in the house at the time and got the info off the packet.

3 slices of Brennans Brown Bread is 246 cal.

Agreed. They are nothing like real French bread, alas.

Congrats.

Nah you have to get them while they're still crispy on the outside, cut em in half and pull out all the doughy crap in the middle. Delicious

It's white bread so it's approximately 250-280 calories per 100g. If you weigh one you should get a fairly good idea.

It's effectively more calories though as it's so high GI it's practically sugar.

(Needless to say it's also nutritionally worthless)

I always thought that pre-packed food required a nutritional information label but it appears this is only the case if you make a nutrition claim e.g. low in fibre, low in fat, is good for you, will put hair on your chest, etc.

Q. Do I have to put nutrition information on my product label?

No. Nutrition information is only required where a nutrition claim is made e.g. ‘low in fat’ ‘high in fibre’ etc. Directive 90/496/EC on nutrition labelling for foodstfuffs details the format required for the presentation of nutrition information on a label.Nutrition information will either appear in Group 1 or Group 2 format depending on the nutrients for which the claim is made.

Group 1 format provides information on Energy (kj/kcal), protein, carbohydrate and fat. Group 2 format provides information on Energy kj/kcal), protein, fat, saturates, carbohydrates, sugars, fibre and sodium.

Additional information may be provided on the label for amounts of one or more of the following: starch, polyols, monounsaturates, poyunsaturates, cholesterol, vitamins and minerals (listed in the Annex to the Directive). However, where a nutritional claim is made about one of these nutrients, they must be declared in the nutrition information table.

All information must be given per 100g of product but can also, in addition, be given per serving.

In order for information on vitamins and minerals to be provided, they must be present in the product in significant amounts i.e. greater than 15% RDA per 100g or 100ml of product (as listed in the Annex to the Directive), and an indication of the percentage RDA provided must be given.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I uploaded the full nutritional info here: http://ienutritionalinfo.wordpress.com/2011/02/19/cuisine-de-france/

Trying to collect nutritional info on common foods eaten in Ireland where that information is unavailable. Get in touch if you have anything worth putting up
