Hi there

According to the nutritional info from the UK company that distribute Rice
Dream the following information may be useful all values are per 100ml

Energy                  217KJ/51Kcal
Protein                   0.2g
Carbohydrate          10.6g
  of which:
               sugars       4.7g

Fat
of which:
             saturates       0.1g
        Mono-saturates   0.6g
        polyunsaturates  0.1g
        Cholestrol           NIL
Dietary Fibre               NIL
Sodium                      39.1mg
Potassium                    5.5mg
Calcium                       8.4mg (naturally present no extra calcium added)
Phosphorus                 24mg


I know it doesn't sound that healthy and nutrious but it keeps my daughter
and wife going (along with soya and goat's milk) so it can't be all bad.
