Canned chilli con carne is a prepared meat dish, usually made with minced meat, beans, tomatoes and chilli. It provides protein, carbohydrate and fat. The supplied manufacturers’ data show that each 100g contains 8.2g of protein, 12g of carbohydrate, 4.7g of fat and 1.7g of salt.
Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while carbohydrate and fat provide energy. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Recipes and nutrient amounts can vary between brands, so individual product labels may differ from these figures. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (Manufacturers' data, 10 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Meat Products and Dishes Supplement, 1996.
