0.45 mg/100 ml in beverages (7.5% of daily reference intake)
0.9 mg per portion if the package only contains a single portion (15% of daily reference intake)
Food products that contain at least the above amounts of vitamin B5 can be labeled with the nutrition claim "Source of pantothenic acid". Further nutrition and health claims can be applied in accordance with Regulations (EC) No 1924/2006 and (EU) No 432/2012.
