Hey just want to know

What determines high protein high fibre in products?

How many grams of them is high protein and fibre ?

I usually read 3g fibre and 2g protein but to me that's a low product is there a guide that I cant go by?

Also do I need to check sugars ?

Thanks

From the general requirements for Nutrition Facts labels for the US...

(a) General requirements. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, a claim about the level of a nutrient in a food in relation to the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) established for that nutrient in 101.9(c)(8)(iv) or Daily Reference Value (DRV) established for that nutrient in 101.9(c)(9), (excluding total carbohydrates) may only be made on the label or in labeling of the food if:

(1) The claim uses one of the terms defined in this section in accordance with the definition for that term;

(2) The claim is made in accordance with the general requirements for nutrient content claims in 101.13; and

(3) The food for which the claim is made is labeled in accordance with 101.9, 101.10, or 101.36, as applicable.

(b) "High" claims. (1) The terms "high," "rich in," or "excellent source of" may be used on the label and in the labeling of foods, except meal products as defined in 101.13(l) and main dish products as defined in 101.13(m), provided that the food contains 20 percent or more of the RDI or the DRV per reference amount customarily consumed.
