Sausage, Mortadella

Mortadella is an Italian pork sausage, usually cooked and served sliced. The figures here describe mortadella as a meat product, rather than a dish prepared with it. It mainly provides fat and protein, with little carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 30g of fat, including 12g of saturated fat, alongside 14g of protein and 2.1g of salt.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Mortadella also provides vitamin B12, which contributes to normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Its salt and saturated fat content are worth noting for people monitoring these in their diet. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
