REVIEW

You're in for a big surprise if you don't read the labels. At first glance, you would think that this can would contain chunks of real beef. The ingredients on the label says it contains pieces of sausages and that's all there is. Another interesting point about this product, is, they open opportunity for comments and complaints from customers by having a customer care hotline. Picture 3 on the right side reveals two types of sausages used. The bigger chunk of sausages on the picture is spicier than the smaller chunks. Perhaps, that the spicier chunk of sausage is the beef and the smaller pieces and quite pale in color is the chicken or pork. A mild sweet taste from the sauce and the spiciness of the sausages is a perfect match. I wonder if this product contains food additives. Since sausages are processed meat, I'm pretty sure that it has an amount of food additives. Some ingredients isn't clearly specified like: Natural Flavors and Artificial Food Colors.
