When we’re out and about shopping, savvy consumers these days engage in price comparisons in an effort to hunt out the best deals for our pocket. Those same savvy consumers would do well to consider engaging in food ingredient comparisons too, to hunt out the best deals for our gut.
You might think there’s little in the difference between one brand of food item over another, but when ingredients are compared, you may well discover that one is potentially much healthier than the other.
Note: The Yuka App was created and launched in 2017 by the French team of Julie Chapon, François Martin and Benoit Martin. They wanted to create an easy way for consumers to find out what ingredients and nutrients were in our food. It’s now estimated that over 10 million people use this App in France and the UK. It has even influenced a major French grocery shop chain, Intermarché, to change ingredients in 900 products following a drop in sales by consumers using the App and refusing to purchase products with various additives.
On a recent shopping excursion we used the Yuka App to compare one staple food item, found in almost every Irish cupboard – the tin of Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce.
Question: Which No added Sugar Baked Beans are best?
According to Yuka, BatchelorsNo Added Sugar Baked Beans are rated poor (49/100) because of the presence of E954 otherwise known as Saccharin, a hazardous additive associated with increased risks of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease if consumed in large quantities. In comparison, Heinz No Added Sugar Baked Beans are rated excellent (84/100) with, according to Yuka, no hazardous additives present. BramwellsNo Added Sugar Baked Beans are rated excellent (90/100), also, with, according to Yuka, no hazardous additives present.
In two large supermarket chain stores checked today: Three 225g cans of Bachelors Baked Beans(No Added Sugar) retailed for €3.29. Three 200g cans of Heinz Baked Beans(No Added Sugar) retailed at €3.00. Three 225g cans of BramwellsBaked Beans (No Added Sugar) retailed at €1.47. A significant difference in price, but also a potentially big difference in health, while also proving “it pays to shop around”.
So savvy shoppers consider comparing prices AND ingredients when out and about bargain hunting. As the old adage goes: “health is wealth“.

Gardaí in Thurles are investigating a ‘Hit and Run’ Road Traffic Accident, which happened in the vicinity of Bowe’s Corner, latter situated west of Thurles town, leading unto Friar Street, yesterday evening, (Friday November 24th 2023).
The accident which involved a pedestrian saw the vehicle involved, failing to remain at the scene of the accident.
Locals in the area quickly gave the victim, understood to be male, assistance having summoned a paramedic, who quickly attended at the scene. The present condition/injuries sustained by the victim are understood to be non life threatening.
The recent upgrading of this area, back in late 2022, at a cost of 1/2 a million Euro made available, has given cause to much discontent with bus and heavy goods vehicles, who find it almost impossible to manoeuvre within the confined space currently allotted.
Thurles Gardaí are now anxious to speak to any person who may have witnessed the accident or who may hold dash-cam footage, to contact them immediately, in strictest confidence on Tel No: 0504 25100 or contact the Garda Confidential Line Free-phone 1800 666 111.
