Pilchards, canned in tomato sauce, whole contents

Pilchards are oily fish. The form described here is canned in tomato sauce, with the figures covering the whole contents, including the sauce. They mainly provide protein and fat, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 17g of protein, 8.1g of fat, 14µg of vitamin D and 250mg of calcium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which is needed for bones and teeth. Canned pilchards usually contain softened, edible bones, which contribute calcium. The salt content is worth noting for people watching their salt intake.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 6 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: DH, Nutrient analysis of fish and fish products, 2013.
