GDA (guideline daily amounts) are recommended daily amounts that represent a guide to daily calorie intake. At the same time, GDA is a scheme for labelling the nutritional values ​​of products per one serving and is clearly displayed on the product packaging. Depending on age, gender, body mass and physical activity, different GDA values ​​are defined for children, men and women. Based on the daily needs of the body and energy expenditure, it is considered that an intake of 2000 calories is the average necessary for the normal functioning of the body of an adult. The above average calories are also the starting point for calculating GDA values ​​on products used by all eminent manufacturers, including the Pionir company since 2009.

Monitoring product quality is one of the most important segments in Pionir. Consumer care in terms of marketing a safe product is ensured by applying the IFS quality standard, which Pionir certified in 2012.

It is well known that dark chocolate is rich in high-quality cocoa, which is why it has a lower energy value, but it has a high nutritional value due to the increased content of antioxidants and dietary fibre. Dark chocolate has a beneficial effect on lowering blood pressure, improving circulation, stimulating the kidneys and improving digestion. It is an excellent source of iron and is used in the diet of anemic persons. Also, dark chocolate stimulates the production of serotonin – the “good mood” hormone, so it can be consumed at any time because it has a natural antidepressant effect. From the Pionir assortment, we single out chocolates with an increased percentage of cocoa that we recommend to true connoisseurs of quality chocolate. These are Galeb Black Chocolate with 80% cocoa parts, as well as Galeb premium black chocolate with 80% cocoa parts without added sugar.

Negro candies are among the most famous products, the production of which dates back to 1928. In addition to their excellent taste, Negro candies, thanks to liquorice, have a beneficial effect on the throat and respiratory organs, while menthol is responsible for the feeling of freshness. In addition to the standard product, the Negro brand has been developed with eucalyptus and peppermint flavours.

Tip: if you have a cold or a sore throat – put a few Negro candies in hot milk. Let them melt and then drink a warm drink. The effect of liquorice and menthol, combined with warm milk, will quickly ease discomfort and help you feel much better.

Nutritional labelling refers to the information displayed on a product. Basic nutritional data includes the product’s energy value as well as individual nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, sugars, fats, saturated fats, and sodium. For confectionery products, nutritional values are typically expressed per 100g. It’s important to emphasize that all information placed on the product must be visible and understandable to the end consumer In addition to standard nutritional declarations, Pionir also highlights product benefits on its packaging (e.g., no preservatives, no artificial colours, lean) to ensure consumers are fully informed about the advantages of the products they enjoy.
