What the label tells us
Xúc xích phô mai CP — cheese sausage. Yenzo rates it “Sometimes”: several nutritional or additive concerns. The main reasons are high salt (2.1 g per 100 g) and high fat (19.6 g per 100 g). It is also ultra-processed (NOVA 4), going by how Yenzo classifies its ingredients. Plus points: low in sugar.
The label lists 15 additives with a code number — acidity regulators: malic acid (296), acetic acid (260) and sodium lactate (325); antioxidant: sodium erythorbate (316); emulsifiers: diphosphates (450(iii)), triphosphates (451(i)) and polyphosphates (452(i)); flavour enhancer: monosodium glutamate (621); preservatives: potassium acetates (261(i)), sodium acetates (262(i)), nisin (234) and sodium nitrite (250); stabilizers: acetylated distarch adipate (1422) and distarch phosphate (1412); thickener: xanthan gum (415). On the Yenzo Scale, sodium nitrite (E250) is at “high” risk. The rest are at “low” or “very low” risk. Vietnamese labels often print an additive as its function plus its number, for example “chất ổn định (1422)”. The ingredients also name “hương liệu” (flavouring) and “phẩm màu” (colour) without a number, so which substance that is cannot be told. There is also artificial flavouring (“low” on the Yenzo Scale).
Of the 9 sausages and processed meat in the Yenzo catalogue, 1 other is also rated “Sometimes” and 7 are rated higher. Some products of the same kind list less salt per 100 g: compare labels before you buy. See all sausages and processed meat
