Product Insights
Chorizo ibérico is a traditional Spanish cured pork sausage made from Iberian pork meat and fat, seasoned with salt, spices and soy protein, and classified under the processed‑meat family (PNNS groups: Meat/Processed meat). It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and falls in NOVA group 4, reflecting its ultra‑processed status, with high levels of fat (≈18 g/100 g), saturated fat (≈17.7 g/100 g) and salt (3.6 g/100 g) while containing very low sugars. The formulation includes additives such as colour (E‑120), stabiliser (E‑450), antioxidant (E‑316) and preservatives (E‑250, E‑252) and contains soy protein, a declared allergen, making it unsuitable for those avoiding soy or additive‑rich foods.
