Lean Cuisine Satay Chicken Noodles

When looking at the range of frozen meals available in the Lean Cuisine range I noticed that only some have the Heart Tick (more on the criteria that need to be met to be granted this tick of approval later this week).
I decided to analyse the ingredients on a product which has been granted the Heart Tick- Satay Chicken Noodles, $5.69 (300g).First on the list are noodles (36% ) which means that they are the main ingredient. Cooked marinated chicken content is only 10%, beans 7%, capsicum 7%, peanut butter 3.5%, and onions 2%. A total of 65.5%. However, the 10% 'chicken' is a mixture of chicken, water, salt, sugar, mineral salts 451,450,452, vegetable fibre, natural flavour (i.e. MSG), & chicken fat.

So what ingredients make up the other 34.5%? Thickeners 405,466,415, Annatto (160b), coconut milk powder, yeast extract (MSG), salt, stabiliser (451), spices, fish sauce powder, garlic, natural colour caramel & chilli flakes.  Together with Caramel (150), Annatto (160b)  is marketed aggressively as a natural colour. Although this is true, it gives the impression it is safe when in fact, it can cause headaches in adults and children, irritability & inattention in children. Their safety is still being evaluated by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
