Stuffing, bread-based, commercial

Commercial bread-based stuffing cooked inside whole chicken. Typical ingredients include salt, herbs, spices and dried onion. Bread contains added folate.

The majority of nutrients were determined in a composite sample of stuffing from meals sold at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Sydney in 1981. Fibre, Cu, Mn, P, Se, S, F, alpha tocopherol, B6, pantothenate and biotin were determined in a composite of 16 samples of chicken - 8 from stuffing prepared from supermarket stuffing mixes (2 each of White Wings, Tandaco, Home Brand and Savings) and 8 from purchased roast chickens. These latter samples were purchased and prepared in Adelaide in 1994. Thiamin estimated from levels in thiamin-fortified white bread, adjusted for cooking losses and bread proportion in the final food. Folic acid estimated using the approximate flour content of bread and the folic acid content of flour for bread making after taking into account baking losses (200 ug/100 g).
