Sticks longaniza de pollo

Sticks longaniza de pollo are chicken sausage sticks marketed by Hacendado and sold at Mercadona, belonging to the Processed meat PNNS group. They provide a very high protein content of 37 g per 100 g but also contain excessive fat (28 g), saturated fat (11 g) and salt (3.8 g, classified as high), resulting in a Nutri‑Score of E and a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed classification. Although labelled gluten‑free and lactose‑free, the product includes additives such as maltodextrin, dextrose, flavorings, antioxidant E‑01 and preservative E‑250, which may raise concerns for some consumers.
