Pate, meat, reduced fat

Reduced-fat meat pâté is a prepared meat spread made from pork meat and liver. The figures describe assorted types, so individual products may differ. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 18g of protein and 12g of fat per 100g. It also contains 1.8g of salt and 5930µg of vitamin A per 100g.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Vitamin A contributes to normal vision and immune function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, and reduced-fat pâté still contains saturated fat. UK pregnancy guidance recommends avoiding pâté because of the risk of listeria infection, and liver products because of their high vitamin A content.
