Vetta Smart Fibre Penne Pasta | Chewsday Review

This week I’m back again with another pasta review. I’m taking a closer look at Vetta Smart Fibre Penne, to see what makes pasta "smart".

Ingredients

Positives

Excellent fibre content. This is more than twice the fibre of regular penne pasta. Assuming your child ate the equivalent of ½ a cup of uncooked pasta, this works out to 3.5g of fibre, which is 25% of a young child’s fibre recommendation and 19% of an older child’s daily fibre recommendations.
Low sodium content at 7 mg/100 g. Regular penne is basically the same with 5 mg/100 g.
Low sugar content of 3 g/100 g (none added, all naturally occurring).
Roughly the same price as branded pasta at $2.25 for a 500 g packet. But this is more than home brands which are usually around $1 for the same amount.
