Beef and herb meatballs
Product Insights
Tesco’s Beef and herb meatballs are a 336 g pack of frozen meatballs made from 86 % beef together with water, basil, pea and rice flours, sea salt, garlic powder and a blend of herbs. They deliver 23.6 g of protein per 100 g while providing 13.5 g of total fat (5.9 g saturated), 0.7 g of salt and only 0.2 g of sugars, earning a Nutri‑Score of C and falling in the NOVA‑3 (moderately processed) category. The high protein and gluten‑free claim are positives, but the relatively high saturated fat, presence of the preservative sodium metabisulphite and the moderate salt level are nutritional drawbacks.
