Baked beans
Product Insights
Sainsbury's Baked beans are a plant‑based one‑dish meal classified in the Composite foods and One‑dish meals groups. They achieve a Nutri‑Score of A thanks to low fat (0.5 g per 100 g), low saturated fat and high fiber (5 g per 100 g), yet the product falls into NOVA group 4, indicating an ultra‑processed formulation that contains added sugar, modified maize starch and a flavouring additive (E160c). The 400 g portion provides 84 kcal per 100 g with moderate salt (0.53 g) and added‑sugar (~2.2 g), so while it offers protein (4.6 g) and vegetables, the salt and added‑sugar levels should be considered by individuals monitoring these nutrients.
