Protein fulfills many roles in the body by supporting growth, maintenance and repair of cells and producing enzymes and hormones.
We do not have a default PDCAAS-adjusted value for this food type, so we cannot show %DV for Protein.
Protein is broken down into building blocks that fulfill many roles in the body, including providing structure, producing enzyme machines that enable cells to function, and making certain hormones.
Casein is a prevalent type of protein in milk. It's considered a complete protein because it contains all of the essential amino acids that humans cannot synthesize.
The fat-to-protein ratio tells you how much fat there is compared to protein in a food. It’s calculated by dividing the grams of fat by the grams of protein, to show balance between the two nutrients. A low number suggests a lean profile: more protein and less fat. Conversely, a high number indicates the food is more "fatty," meaning it has more fat and less protein.
Fat provides energy and contributes to cell building. Fat is made up of fatty acids that can be grouped into saturated fatty acids (SFA), trans fatty acids (TFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) & monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA).
Cholesterol is a building block to make cells, produce certain hormones, and help the body absorb fat from the diet. Humans can make cholesterol so it is not necessary to eat.

There is no established function of nickel in humans and no evidence of toxicity from dietary nickel.
The Sodium-to-Potassium ratio compares the amounts of these two essential minerals. It’s calculated by dividing the grams of sodium by potassium, to show how the two minerals are balanced. Both sodium and potassium must be regulated at specific levels inside and outside the cell to control fluid balance, facilitate nerve impulses, and manage blood pressure. A high ratio of too much sodium and too little potassium is linked to increased blood pressure and a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
Arsenic is a naturally-occurring element that can be found in the air, water, and soil. High or long-term exposure to Inorganic Arsenic is toxic and linked to skin disorders, diabetes, and cancers; while exposure to Organic Arsenic is generally not a concern in the amount consumed. Notably, the Arsenic in fin fish is generally the harmless organic form, though we recommend further testing of the specific forms to be sure.
