Product Insights
Roast chicken breast slices are a ready‑to‑eat, cooked poultry product made by Sainsbury’s, consisting mainly of chicken (98 %) with water, salt, stabilisers (triphosphates) and a small amount of caramelised sugar syrup. It belongs to the PNNS “Processed meat” group, carries a Nutri‑Score of A thanks to its very low fat (1.3 g), sugar (0.3 g) and salt (0.003 g) levels and a high protein content of 25 g per 100 g. However, the product is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and contains the additive E451 (triphosphates) plus a caramelised sugar syrup, which may be a concern for those avoiding additives or seeking minimally processed foods.
