Ground Chicken nutrition label for Canada, the EU and the UK
The same 3 oz crumbled of ground chicken, drawn by the site's Canadian, EU and UK renderers. Canada keeps a per-serving panel in English and French with its own Daily Values and folds trans fat into the saturated-fat row. The EU declaration is per 100 g only, states energy in kJ and kcal, and declares salt (sodium × 2.5) rather than sodium. The UK table is the EU layout as retained by the Food Information Regulations 2014, with the optional per-serving column and %RI. One recipe in the generator renders all of them from the same numbers.

What stands out in ground chicken
Measured against the FDA's nutrient-content claim thresholds (21 CFR 101.54), ground chicken is notable for:
- Protein - 20g per 3 oz crumbled - 40% DV, enough to qualify as an excellent source (20% DV or more).
- Cholesterol - 90mg per 3 oz crumbled - 30% DV, at or above the 20% the FDA treats as high.
- Potassium - 580mg per 3 oz crumbled - 12% DV, enough to qualify as a good source (10–19% DV).
These are the thresholds that decide whether a package may carry a claim like “good source of fiber”. The label generator applies the same rules to your own recipe.
