Tongue slices

Tongue slices are a meat product made from animal tongue. The figures here describe a mixture of chilled, canned and delicatessen tongue products. They mainly provide protein and fat, with only trace amounts of carbohydrate and sugars. Per 100g, they contain 19g of protein, 14g of fat, 6g of saturated fat and 2.5g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Tongue slices also provide vitamin B12, which helps maintain normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. The salt and saturated fat content are relevant for people monitoring these nutrients in their diet. Amounts may vary between products, so labels can help with comparisons. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (7 samples of a mixture of chilled, canned and delicatessen tongue. 90-100% meat). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LGC, Nutrient analysis of foods important in elderly people, 1994.
