Tips
The crust changes the nature of the product. 21.7 g of carbohydrate per 100 g: it is a complete dish rather than a cold cut. A 100 g slice with a salad makes a lunch, with no extra bread.
Little protein for a cold meat. Only 9.96 g, with the crust and jelly making up a large part of the weight. An ordinary pâté provides one and a half times more.
1.72 g of salt per 100 g. A 100 g slice therefore provides a third of the daily guideline. See salt.
It counts towards the processed meat guideline. 150 g a week, all products combined, according to the Programme national nutrition santé.
A fresh product: three days after cutting. The jelly and the moist crust make it fragile. Not recommended in pregnancy because of the risk of listeriosis, unless heated right through.
