Density 28 · +6 vs Sausage & deli meats medianRoast beef spread earns a 28 of 100 Nutrient Density Score, a Low band that still ranks it 18th of 60 in Sausage & deli meats. Its protein content stands out at an excellent 31% DV, with a good 11% DV of iron alongside it, numbers that reflect its base of ground roast beef.
It's a spreadable deli product meant for sandwiches or crackers, with a quarter-cup serving (57 g) being a typical portion. The honest caveat: it's high in sodium at 724 mg per 100 g and carries 6.4 g of saturated fat per 100 g, so it's better treated as an occasional sandwich filling than a daily protein source.
