Summary

This black pudding is a processed food with a relatively simple ingredient list, featuring fresh pig's blood and onions, which are nutrient-rich and minimally processed. However, the presence of pork back fat and salt contributes to its processed nature, and the product's high energy content and sodium levels are notable concerns. Despite these factors, the absence of artificial additives and the use of whole food ingredients help maintain a moderate score.
