Why this verdict

• Processed meat — a WHO Group 1 carcinogen
• Refined fortified wheat rusk is the main filler after water
• Triphosphates bind in water to bulk up weight
• Sodium metabisulphite preservative can trigger sulphite sensitivity
• Added dextrose plus 17 total ingredients

Ingredients (10)

• Pork (85%) (moderate) — Decent meat content for a value sausage, but as processed/cured meat it still carries Group 1 carcinogen risk.
• Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
• Rusk (fortified wheat flour) (moderate) — Refined wheat-flour filler that stretches the meat and adds refined carbs.
• Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
• Dextrose (moderate) — A second added sugar, used on the chicken; spikes blood sugar fast.
• Triphosphates (concerning) — Phosphate binders that hold added water to inflate weight; high phosphate intake is linked to cardiovascular and kidney strain.
• Sodium metabisulphite (concerning) — Sulphite preservative that can trigger asthma and allergic-type reactions in sensitive people; must be labelled.
• ascorbic acid (safe) — Vitamin C, used to preserve freshness; benign and even mildly beneficial.
• Spices (nutmeg, white pepper, sage, coriander) (safe) — Ordinary seasonings; harmless.
• ONION POWDER (safe) — Standard flavoring.
