Hans Strassburg 97% Fat Free with essential Omega-3
This is one of a range of new low fat cold meats on the market. Hans is adding an additional selling point with its claim of adding essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids.
We have been bombarded by products that have added omega –3 Fatty acids as well as those that contain them naturally. Meadow Lea- Hi Omega margarine™, has 500 mg per 2 teaspoons while fresh salmon has 2000 mg per 100 grams. Hans- Strassburg™ has a combined omega 3 content of 60 mg. This is a fairly insignificant. On the other hand, Hans-Strassburg™ tastes fine, presents well and makes a more flavoursome addition to the luncheon meats market. As their brochure states, it is not suitable for pregnant women unless cooked and it is gluten free, an added bonus.
I would choose this product because of its 97% fat free content and quite acceptable flavour.
