    though, "rasher" is an unknown value... I'd find a listing labeled per slice or in grams

    :flowerforyou: sodium is in milligrams..........I keep mine at 1600.....other people allow themselves higher amounts. cholesterol is also in milligrams

    calcium and some other nutrients are listed in % of daily requirement
