What the label tells us
Ba rọi xông khói Le Gourmet — smoked bacon. Yenzo rates it “Moderate”: fine in moderation. The main reasons are high salt (3.4 g per 100 g) and medium fat (15.2 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 6 additives with a code number — acidity regulator: triphosphates (451(i)); antioxidant: sodium erythorbate (316); emulsifier: diphosphates (450(i)); flavour enhancer: monosodium glutamate (621); preservative: sodium nitrite (250); sequestrant: polyphosphates (452(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 điều vị (621)”.
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
