Bovril Beef
Product Insights
Bovril Beef is a beef‑based broth spread marketed in a 250 g glass jar and falls within the meat group of the French PNNS classification. It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4), reflecting its high salt level (7.5 g per 100 g) and the presence of several additives such as caramel colour (E150c), lactic acid (E270) and flavour enhancers (E627, E631). While it provides a notable 37 g of protein per 100 g and low sugar, the excessive sodium and inclusion of allergens like celery and gluten limit its suitability for low‑salt or allergen‑free diets.
