Ok so I’ve been looking at the ingredients of Linda McCartney vegetarian sausages. For 6 sausages the ingredients are: rehydrated textured wheat protein (63%) (made from soyflour), vegetable oil, water, pea and wheat protein (4%) flavourings, rusk, stabiliser, hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (an alternative to animal gelatine, used for thickening). The textured wheat protein contains wheat and starch. The flavourings contain dextrose, salt, onion, yeast extract, colour, red iron oxide. The rusk contains wheat, flour and salt. There's 101 calories per sausage. Yum. Seems like a lot of additives that don’t sound that good for you, but it’s all to spare an animal!
