I had the Wideboy (extra large) version of this snack earlier, I read the ingridients,
Pork = 108% :huh:
Seriously, it says pork 108% :huh:
How?

Jonno :cool:
Concentrated?
:huh: sounds like mo than a snack :ph34r:
lets see the wrapper
You believed it Jonno. Its a porky.:lol: :lol: :lol:
the makeUp adds the eXtra 8%
logic
That's the raw ingredients.
Of course when you cook it you lose one vital part - the "Oink". :P
That must make up at least 8%, so it shows what crap they use for the rest of it.
I can't Dan, I got no scanner atm, besides you know I could fake that quite easily, I swear on my soul that's what it said, on 2 of them :ph34r:Quote:

Perhaps there is like 20% free so as a kinda gimmick it is saying that it contains 108% pork.
Send em an email, incorrect maths is almost as bad as incorrect grammar :dry:
Replace 'pork' with 'fat' and that'd be about right.
Pepperami's are known to have ridiculous amounts of fat in them.
Yup and maffs is my forty :01:
Jonno :cool:
Redjacks are 88% fat :01:
Pork Dripping sarnies beats that :01:
Jonno :cool:
100% pork meat
8% pork attitude.

Seriously, these pork sticks are giving your coronary arteries "the finger".
that cleared that up then
actually, i didn't understand it, can some one explain without mentioning percentages, i don't do maths
When they put the raw materials into the machine it gets compressed and then squeezed into the pepperami tube.Quote:

The law requires you to state precentages of the raw materials rather than what is inside the wrapper, thus some of the percentages on the wrapper appear skewed.
It says that the product wieghs 150g and is all pork, then the water contained in the pork is removed and the product wieghs less so there for what you started with is 8% more than you have now.Quote:

Also by definition alone you can't get more than 100%, unless you're a sportsman who always goes out there and gives it 110% :01:
Jonno :cool: %
huh?
Actually having thought about it, there are other ingridients too, spices, herbs, flavours etc, they are'nt part of the pork :huh:
Jonno :cool:

Jonno :cool:
Just read my previous post :rolleyes:
you're confused.
The spices etc are added in with the pork, water comes out stuff binds together. Because they have to state what is in thier in the mixing bowl stage they use that weight of pork(ie the weight before its been tampered with)Quote:
"The UK Food Labelling Regulations 1996 require that most pre-packed foods have a quantitative ingredient declaration for major ingredients. These are normally expressed as a percentage and must be expressed in terms of the ingredients at the "mixing bowl" stage.
If water is lost during processing (due to drying in the case of salami) then the sum of the ingredient weights will be greater than the final product weight. A simple example is tomato ketchup, which contains 120 per cent tomatoes. "
Yes I am confused, cos there is no such thing as 108%, whatever way you look at it, 108% does not exist :huh:
Stupid labels :angry:
Jonno :cool:
Did`nt this bloke make something that added up to 106%. :01:Quote:

Since it's been explained that the percentages on the label are calculated from the weights of the original ingredients at the mixing bowl stage and not when they are condensed at the packaged stage I don't see what's so difficult to comprehend.
maybe its like alcohol where 10% proof isnt 10% alcohol
@EFF......Yeah that sounds about right :lol:
@Manker ..... Is there such a thing as 108% ?
@Dave ..... No they are 2 different measures :) The Proof is twice the actual amount of alcohol by volume :)
Jonno :cool:
:) :) :)
Yes :)
ive been away for a bit and on a 48k modem so i aint onna ssearch for it... jonnno id you get that shop or have i just put my foot in it?
Wer er I don't see how but if you say so :)
100% by definition is the largest amount possible.
@Dave. . No mate, I pulled out, I could'nt give myself enough security to have a 4 grand per month loan :(
Jonno :cool:
108 is 108% of 100 :)Quote:
