BNI™ 092.75na: Tapioca crisps (average)

dietBNI™ 092.75na: Tapioca crisps (average), NZ, 2012.

This is the nutritional value of tapioca crisps2. Below is an analysis of the average aggregated nutritional value of a sample of 6 products3. The sample was collated as part of a research on the nutritional composition of snacks in New Zealand. This nutritional profile can be summarised as being, mainly, biased towards excess of sodium, adequate in carbohydrate, sugar and saturated fat, high in fat, and low in protein and fiber.

This nutritional value may be more representative of those who change brands and flavors often, as well as of the population, in general. However, it is less representative of the universe of brands on offer and of those consumers who prefer a particular brand and flavor of tapioca crisps, where a prototypical nutritional value may be more relevant (see foodBNI).
