Anyone Speak Portuguese ?

Out for breakfast in our hotel are these pots of yoghourt. This one was mango flavoured. Made by Mimosa it would seem and only 4.8 grams per 100 grams of carbs. The breakdown of fat, protein and carbs appears to be distinct. But I was wondering what the rest of the blurb on the pot says, particularly if it is nutrition related.

PS - no full fat greek yoghourt on offer.

“Without fat 0% added sugar” So carb count may be good but no fat!

PS Google translate is a marvellous invention!

No fat, 4,8g of carbs!! And no sugar added.
Enjoy your meal!

Just checked.

Sem gordura = no fat
Acucares adicianados = added sugar

Maybe some traffic light statement off to the bottom left?

5.8g carbs per pot, all of which is sugar. Fat free though...

There's an app in the App store, which allows photographing of the nutritional information, then translates it. We used it for a short while in Asia.

It was very clunky, so ended up being binned, once I had worked out the nutritional content display was structured in exactly yhr same way and order as in UK.

I find I can usually work it out anyway. After a while, one has a bit of a feel for which numbers could be which.

Agreed, I always download the appropriate language before going abroad so that it works offline, the camera feature is brilliant for menus etc.

I have access to a Portuguese speaker if you still need information.
However most of the label seems obvious.

Per 100 grams

lipidos = lipids = fats 0.2g
saturados = saturated = 0.1g

hidratos de carbono = carbohydrates = 4.8g
dos quais acucares = of which sugars = 4.8g
proteinas = protein = 4.4g
sal = salt = 0.15g

vitaminas e sais minerals = vitamins and mineral salts
riboflavina = riboflavin
vitimina B12 = vitamin B12
calcio = calcium
fosforo = phosphorous
iodo = iodine

I only had to double check "sais" meant salts.

So the main constituent seems to be sugar, closely followed by protein.

However at 4.4g per 100g it seems fine for a low carbohydrate meal.

There are other yoghourts out for breakfast. Some with fat content but also more in the way of carbs. So went for these in the photos, with the lowest carb percentages. They are quite nice and I don’t think I have seen similar in the UK. I had streaky bacon with omelette beforehand so I ate some fat that way.

Thanks. ( I knew about “sal” as in saline )
