REVIEW
The color of the meat loaf is quite pink.
It's not oily and it has a milder taste compared to other meat loaf in the supermarket. A price of P16.00 per can is quite a deal if your after something that's not as strong tasting and affordable.

142g because the can is not totally filled from level of the lid. The empty space used to be on top but now hidden at the bottom end. (basically they just inverted the label so you will open on 'top' where the meat is leveled to the lid). I have not bought this meatloaf for some time and to my dismay the air pocket is still there but hidden at the 'bottom' end. And to mind you Argentina meatloaf also do this practice that is even more sinister by making the tin taller when one end of the tin is not level filled. so it's like paying for a taller tin can (of argentina meatloaf) with air in it––Not that I am undermining the case of Philips meatloaf. This has got to be escalated to DTI and give them something to do!
