And could possibly upload pics of nutrition for their coleslaws and high meat content sausages please?

No! Not if it means I’d turn into a Ginger/Human cross! :cat:

Lidl in the Netherlands have multiple coleslaws, and Dutch sausages aren't at all the same as English sausages either, so I can't be of help on that.
But have you tried a Google search on the product you'd like and adding 'nutritional information' to your search?

Thanks guys but I don't trust sources like that having had them be wrong on a few occasions

@Antje77 yes that's always the first thing I do and also tried openfoodfacts with no luck

I use Lidl but don't currently have any of those products. I do see that they change recipes without any notice. Their sausages used to have higher meat content than they do now, thats in the last 6 months. Best to always check the label

I tried their sausages in the last few weeks - they are not as good as the ones from the Co-op and my husband even offered to go to buy the Co-op ones rather than have the Lidl again (they were not bad he's just picky after us having butcher made sausages for decades)
I get the creamy coleslaw from Lidl, and a lot more stuff, as they seem to be a good source of most things I eat.
I buy the frozen veges and berries quite a lot.

Hi do you anybody who takes a regular run to Lidl? (Like a friend.)
Maybe they could take a snap of the back panel of the packaging & "Messenger" it..

I was hoping to get the information for Friday so I could get someone to pick some up for me if I deemed it suitable, unfortunately the only real regular is my grandad and although he has a phone he only knows how to answer a call :rolleyes: or that's exactly what I would have done xx

I don't buy the coleslaw but here's a pic of the pork sausages label. Hope that helps. EDITED to say I think I prefer the taste of Tesco sausages better than the Lidl ones. I can't remember how many carbs exactly but I know they would be a similar amount. .

Let me know if you want a pic of the Dulano Silesian sausages I have been enjoying, also from Lidl which are 1.2gms carbs per sausage.

Yes, these are the Deluxe outdoor bred British Pork Sausages. I normally just read the label for carbs but have just noted the ingredients list which has concerned me a little, I have copied below for info:

Ingredients:
95% British Port, Water, Salt, DEXTROSE, Nutmeg, White Pepper, Onion Powder, Sage, Stabiliser, Triphosphates, Coriander, Preservative: Sodium Metabisulphite; Antioxidant; Ascorbic Acid; Filled into Natural Port Casings.

Allergy advice: For allergens see ingredients in bold.

Hmm... maybe not as healthy as one would wish, don't some people use dextrose as a sugar boost. Do you want a photo of the ingredients as well?

The dextrose is simply the 'of which sugars' part, 0.7 grams per 100 grams. Like 2 small grains of granulated sugar or such, hidden in protein and fats.

@Ryhia thanks and no thanks don't need the ingredients, not concerned what's in them to be fair, life's too short and I avoided a lot in my first couple of years following diagnosis due to an eating disorder I developed but thanks xx
