Product Insights
Smash Burgers are Sainsbury’s ready‑to‑heat beef hamburgers made primarily from British beef chuck and flank. The product belongs to the Composite foods and Sandwiches groups, is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4), lacks a Nutri‑Score, and provides high saturated fat (7.2 g per 170 g serving), moderate salt and very low sugar while delivering a solid amount of protein. Although low in carbs and sugars, the inclusion of a sulphite preservative and its ultra‑processed nature may be concerns for health‑focused consumers.
