Ready-to-eat satay sauce contains too much sugar and salt
-
Most ready-to-eat satay sauces contain a lot of sugar. This is the conclusion of the Consumers' Association, which compared seventeen different products. Ten of the sauces fail for sugar, four contain too much salt.
-
The Consumers' Association assessed the satay sauces on their nutritional values and looked at how many peanuts, calories, sugar, fat and salt there were in the different containers, pots and bags. The Verstegen Ready-made Satà © sauce low in sodium is the best in the test. This sauce contains only a little bit of salt (0.2 grams per 100 grams) and very little sugar (1.9 grams per 100 grams). Calvà © Peanut Sauce Ready Mild contains the most sugar: 27 grams per 100 grams, which is almost seven sugar cubes.
Little improvement
-
On average, the products contain 1.3 grams of salt per 100 grams, just as much as in a previous test by the Consumers' Association in 2010. Almost a quarter of the sauces contain 1.7 grams up to 2 grams of salt (per 100 grams).

Saturated fat
-
The Flower Brand Readymade Peanut Satay Sauce ends at the bottom. This sauce contains a lot of salt and sugar and is also the only one that is insufficient for fat, because it contains a lot of saturated fat. The other sauces contain relatively more healthy unsaturated fats. Tip: make your own low-sodium satay sauce.
