Australian immigrants must know that these common frozen foods in Australia cannot be eaten more.

According to the Australian Network, with the increasingly busy life of urbanites, it seems to be a luxury to cook for yourself after coming home from work. Many people will choose to buy some quick-frozen food and put it in the microwave oven to heat it when they get home. Although quick-frozen food is convenient for many people, do you know that some quick-frozen foods are unhealthy? Eating too much will do harm to your health. Recently, nutritionists from the University of Sydney investigated the quick-frozen products in Australian supermarkets.

Low protein and few vegetables are common diseases.

On 30th, ANZ reported that a study conducted by the University of Sydney and the National Association of Conference Dietitians in Australia showed that most frozen foods sold in Australian supermarkets were unhealthy because they lacked vegetables, protein and whole-wheat grains, so consumers were not advised to eat these frozen foods at dinner.

Nutritionist IreneSangadi conducted a nutritional survey on 197 kinds of quick-frozen foods sold in Australian supermarkets, and found that 57% of them advertised themselves as "healthy choices" and highlighted the word "healthy" in their names or packaging.

However, after investigation, researchers found that although the "healthy choice" of these frozen foods is not high in calories and fat, many foods still lack protein, whole grains and vegetables.

The report shows that although these quick-frozen products are low in calories and fat, this is achieved at the expense of reducing protein and vegetables.

Generally speaking, among 197 kinds of quick-frozen products, WoolworthsDeliciousNutritious is the "healthy first choice" for consumers, because it contains more than three kinds of vegetables. On the other hand, there are many quick-frozen products without any vegetables, including OntheMenu3CheeseMacaroni, OntheMenuChickenFettuccine, Schickensataywhethongrerice and ColesMacaroniCheese from Woolworth.

The content of rice and pasta is too high.

In addition, the researchers also found that many frozen foods sold in Australian supermarkets have excessive carbohydrate content. Among them, the products that have been criticized by name are McCain Health Choicelemonchinken, McCain Health ChoiceWholegrainsthaibeef, Basilstilfry with Brownriceandquoa and WoolworthChickensatay with longgrainrice. The content of rice in these quick-frozen foods is 43%, but the content in protein is only 13%.

The researchers said that in fact, the main ingredients in most frozen foods are rice and pasta, which are relatively cheap, while protein and vegetables are more expensive.

However, researchers still found some products with low carbohydrate content in 197 kinds of quick-frozen foods. They are lean eggs, delicious nutritious beer in Woolworth, potato stew (mostly vegetables, beef and beans) and black pork. The main ingredients of these products are not rice or pasta.
