Ingredients (16)

Wheat flour (fortified) (moderate) — Refined-flour filler bulking out the paste, fortified with calcium, iron, niacin and thiamin.
Water (safe) — Bulking agent that keeps this a low-fat spread; inert.
rapeseed oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil used to carry seasoning and add fat/calories.
wheat gluten (moderate) — Added protein/structure; harmless for most but a problem for those avoiding gluten.
Wheat fibre (moderate) — Isolated fibre bolted on to earn the 'source of fibre' claim, not intact whole-grain fibre.
Spirit Vinegar (safe) — Adds tang and helps preserve; negligible health impact.
yeast (safe) — Used in the breadcrumb; benign.
Potassium Sorbate (moderate) — Synthetic preservative to extend shelf life; generally recognized as safe but not a clean-label ingredient.
calcium propionate (moderate) — Mold-inhibiting preservative for extended shelf life.
disodium diphosphate (moderate) — Phosphate raising agent; high phosphate intake is a concern for kidney and bone health.
Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (safe) — Baking soda raising agent.
CALCIUM PHOSPHATE (moderate) — Phosphate leavening salt.
Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) (moderate) — Synthetic thickener/stabiliser linked in studies to gut-microbiome disruption.
citric acid (moderate) — Tartness and preservation, but the acidity erodes tooth enamel with regular exposure.
wheat starch (moderate) — Another refined starch; also means the product is not gluten-free.
