What the label tells us
Thịt xông khói hỗn hợp GO! — mixed smoked bacon. Yenzo rates it “Moderate”: fine in moderation. The main reasons are high salt (1.6 g per 100 g). It is also ultra-processed (NOVA 4), going by how Yenzo classifies its ingredients. Plus points: low in sugar and low in saturated fat.
The label lists 9 additives with a code number — acidity regulator: sodium lactate (325); antioxidants: sodium erythorbate (316) and ascorbic acid (300); colour: cochineal, carminic acid, carmines (120); flavour enhancer: monosodium glutamate (621); preservative: sodium nitrite (250); triphosphates (451(i)), polyphosphates (452(i)) and diphosphates (450(i)). 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 chống oxy hóa (316)”. The ingredients also name “hương liệu” (flavouring) 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, 5 others are also rated “Moderate” and 1 is 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
