Cassoulet de Castelnaudary au Canard

The barcode 0001006881563 is associated with a product labeled "Cassoulet de Castelnaudary au Canard" (a duck-infused version of the traditional French cassoulet dish). Below are the details available based on available data:

Product Identification

• Type: Pre-packaged ready-to-eat (RTE) cassoulet, a hearty bean stew typically containing pork, duck, sausage, and white beans, originating from Castelnaudary, France.
• Brand: The barcode suggests it may be from a French or European manufacturer, possibly a regional or artisanal producer (common for specialty foods). However, the exact brand name is not directly tied to this barcode in public databases.
• Packaging: Likely a canned or vacuum-sealed container (common for cassoulet due to its long shelf life).

Nutritional & Ingredient Concerns

• Potential Allergens: Contains duck meat (poultry), pork (if included), and possibly wheat (if sausage is used). Always check the label for full allergen declarations.
• Sodium Content: Ready-to-eat cassoulet is often high in sodium due to curing, smoking, or added seasonings. A typical serving (per 100g) may contain 500–1,000mg+ of sodium, which could be a concern for hypertension or kidney issues.
• Fat Content: Duck is rich in saturated fat, so moderation is advised for heart health.
• Preservatives: Canned or long-shelf-life versions may contain preservatives (e.g., sodium nitrite in cured meats).
