Our analysis

Breaking the 50 down: the biggest single loss is additives, where it takes 0.8 of a possible 10. Its strongest showing is label transparency at 13.8 of 15. On top of that, 16 points are deducted outright for red-flag ingredients - a penalty applied before anything else is counted, which is why the total lands where it does.

The label declares 80% meat, which is unusually specific - most brands never print a figure at all, and the ingredient list names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.

Ingredients

Straight from the label, grouped by role - every ingredient is coloured by our published classification and links to its full page.
