What it is
Cooked Italian Style Meatballs are a composite food product made from ground meat, typically beef, pork, or a combination, mixed with ingredients like breadcrumbs, eggs, cheese, and Italian seasonings such as garlic, onion, parsley, and oregano. These mixtures are formed into spheres and then cooked, often by baking, frying, or simmering in sauce.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add cooked Italian style meatballs to packaged foods primarily as a main protein component, contributing significant flavor and texture to the dish. They are commonly found in frozen dinners and entrees, pizzas, and frozen appetizers and hors d'oeuvres, providing a hearty and savory element.
Health notes
Cooked Italian Style Meatballs are a food product, not a food additive, and are regulated by the FDA as a meat product. As a composite food, their nutritional profile varies depending on the specific ingredients and preparation, but they are generally a good source of protein. They can also contribute to dietary intake of fat and sodium. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate composite food items like meatballs.
Allergen info
Meatballs commonly contain wheat (from breadcrumbs) and egg. Depending on the recipe, they may also contain milk (from cheese). These are among the 9 FDA major allergens.
