Aldi Cucina nutrition: calories, sugar and salt compared

Every Aldi Cucina product in our database broken down by calories, sugar, salt and saturated fat, and checked against NHS daily reference intakes for children aged 1 to 17.

What is in the Cucina range

Cucina covers ready meals, sauces & condiments and other categories, with 45 products listed here. The typical product carries 137 kcal per 100g, which is moderate for a supermarket range. Sugar runs at 2.9g per 100g on the median product, low against the 22.5g per 100g the front of pack traffic light system treats as high.

The spread within the range

The range is not uniform. Smooth Tomato Pasta Sauce 0.5 KG carries 6.5g of sugar per 100g while Tagliatelle Fresh Pasta 0.5 KG carries 0.3g, so the name on the pack tells you less than the panel does. Salt sits at 0.62g per 100g on the median product. An adult should have no more than 6g a day and a child aged 4 to 6 no more than 3g. Saturated fat runs at 1.4g per 100g against a 20g daily guideline for an adult.
