Slice, fruit mince, iced, commercial

Commercially prepared sweet slice containing a short crust pastry and a dried fruit filling. Contains a sugar based icing topping.

Proximates (except moisture), fatty acids and Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn were derived from 5 samples of fruit mince pies purchased from Sydney bakeries in 1983 (Makinson et al. 1989). Cu, Mn, P, Cl, Se, S, F, B1, B6, ATOC, pantothenate and biotin were derived from a composite of 9 samples of fruit mince pies purchased from South Australian supermarkets and bakeries in 1993). B1, B2, B3 and dietary fibre are imputed from samples of Christmas-style fruit mince pies analysed in 1988 by AGAL (composite of 5 varieties from Australia, purchased in Adelaide). Moisture is averaged from Makinson (1989) and AGAL (1993). Note low sum of proximates - data should be used with caution.
