This is the multipack of six 20g bags, 120g in all, and the pack gives figures for each bag. The full product name on the pack is crispy bacon flavour corn snack, and the maker on the label is Walkers Snack Foods Ltd.The ingredientsAccording to the published pack listing, the snacks are made from corn (maize), rapeseed oil and a bacon flavour seasoning of salt, hydrolysed vegetable protein (soya), dextrose, flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate and disodium 5' ribonucleotides), potassium chloride, sugar, yeast powder, flavourings (soya), lactose (milk), yeast extract, dried yeast, whey powder (milk), corn starch, colours (paprika extract and sulphite ammonia caramel), smoked maltodextrin, carob flour and rosemary extract, with beetroot red for colour.Bacon without baconThere is no bacon on the list. The smoky, meaty taste comes from smoked maltodextrin, hydrolysed vegetable protein, yeast in three forms and the flavourings, and the pack says the snacks are suitable for vegetarians.RashersEach piece is a rippled strip of corn with red and pale stripes, like a little rasher of streaky bacon. Beetroot red, the last ingredient, is the main colour, with paprika extract and caramel colour in the seasoning.Baked, not friedThe pack says baked not fried. The label gives 23g of fat per 100g, red on the front of pack scale, and 2g of saturates, amber.The savouryHydrolysed vegetable protein, from soya, comes second in the seasoning, with monosodium glutamate and disodium 5' ribonucleotides to strengthen the savoury taste. This bag does contain MSG.Carob flourCarob flour, from the pods of the carob tree, sits near the end of the seasoning and adds a dark, roasted note to the smoke.Salt firstSalt leads the seasoning, and potassium chloride sits beside it. The label gives 2.7g of salt per 100g and 0.54g in a 20g bag, red on the front of pack scale.Lactose and wheyLactose and whey powder, both from milk, carry the seasoning and soften it.
