Tried and Tasted Low Fat Coleslaw WLR's food testing panel crunch their way through low fat coleslaw   Coleslaw   With summer drawing closer, the WLR panel help you to prepare for those barbecues and picnics by testing a range of low calorie/fat coleslaws. Marks & Spencer - Less Than 5% Fat This coleslaw stole the show from the very beginning. Our panel thought it looked home made and very appealing. It was creamy and crunchy. The out and out winner! Per Serving (1/2 pot) Per 100g CALORIES 93.8kcal 75kcal FAT 5.5g 4.4g Asda - 20% Less Fat Asda's coleslaw was the highest in calories but made up for it with taste. You could definitely taste the onion in this particular coleslaw but it was not overpowering, just right. Definitely worth a go. Per Serving (1/3 pot) Per 100g CALORIES 74kcal 88kcal FAT 5g 6g Tesco - Healthy Living Our panel's first impression was that this looked deliciously creamy and it really lived up to their expectations. It's sweet flavour makes it a worthwhile purchase. Per Serving (1/3 potl) Per 100g CALORIES 70.8kcal 85kcal FAT 4.8g 5.8g Waitrose - Perfectly Balanced Despite a watery appearance it wasn't as bad as it looked. It wasn't as creamy as some of it's competitors and had a slight hint of vinegar to it. Just alright. Per Serving (1/3 pot) Per 100g CALORIES 49kcal 59kcal FAT 2.6g 3.1g Safeway - Eat Smart This coleslaw didn't look too tasty. One panel member couldn't even try it! Although it wasn't as bad as it appeared, it was a bit bland with a sticky sauce. Not recommended. Per Serving (1/2 pot) Per 100g CALORIES 75kcal 60kcal FAT 3.4g 2.7g Sainsburys -  Be Good To Yourself Sainsburys really let us down this time. Their attempt at coleslaw had a horribly sharp & vinegary taste leaving us thoroughly disappointed. We had to wonder if by reducing the calories they had compromised on taste? Avoid at all costs! Per Serving (1/4 pot) Per 100g CALORIES 31kcal 49kcal FAT 1.2g 1.9g Conclusion Marks & Spencer was the clear winner this time offering everything you would want from coleslaw. This is a must have accompaniment for any salad! Sainsbury’s proved that being low in calories and fat doesn’t always pay off whilst Asda and Tesco made tasty additions to our testing. Safeway and Waitrose however didn’t really make an impact.     Contact Us Free Trial Membership Newsletter Privacy Help Press Office Site Map
