Boulettes Italian Style

Boulettes Italian Style are vegan meat-alternative balls that belong to the PNNS group of plant-based protein (meat analogue), made by LAVIE in France from 79% rehydrated soy protein, sunflower oil, natural flavours and a small amount of colour and acidity regulators, and sold in a 200 g bag. The product carries a Nutri-Score of C and is classified as NOVA 4, reflecting its ultra-processed nature and the presence of additives such as caramel colour (E150a), potassium acetate (E261) and lactic acid (E270), while providing a high protein content and 5.2 g of fiber per 100 g. However, it is relatively high in salt (1.7 g per 100 g) and moderate in total fat, so consumers seeking low-salt or low-fat options should be cautious.
