Household Ingredients Compared  ›  Frozen Burgers and Patties (Singapore)

Frozen burgers and patties: what's actually in them?

A frozen patty can be almost pure meat, or mostly textured vegetable protein with a little meat for flavour — and the pack name rarely tells you which. This page separates meat patties, fish patties and plant-based patties, because a plant-based patty is a different product from a beef patty even when both sit in the same freezer. The hard finding of this pass: FairPrice publishes no ingredient section at all for the meat and fish patties it lists (Farmpride, Master Grocer, Tegel, Ramly, Catch Seafood, Churo, Danny's Choice, The Meat Club) — only marketing copy and a country of origin. Only the two plant-based FRY'S patties could be panelled from verifiable lists.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, with the country of manufacture as printed, and flags added sugar and allergens.

Plant-based patties — the only two with verifiable lists

FRY'S Traditional Burger

Pack size: 320 g (4 per pack) · Made in: South Africa (retailer / manufacturer address) (as printed)

The original meat-free burger from Fry's. Only 16% vegetable protein; the rest is oil, starches and fibre. No added sugar listed.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

Only the two panelled FRY'S patties have per-100g nutrition from a retrieved source. All figures are as sold (frozen, uncooked). No per-100g nutrition was retrieved for any meat or fish patty.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Where a source printed salt only, the sodium figure is salt ÷ 2.5 and is flagged as computed.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar.

Click a column header to sort low-to-high, click again for high-to-low. Rows marked "not stated" always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours. No Nutri-Grade applies to these foods as non-drinks, and none is quoted or assigned here.

Observed numbers, no verdict: FRY'S Traditional lists 773 mg sodium per 100g (salt 1.93 g) — the highest-sodium row on this page, and the only sodium figure retrieved for the whole category. Its sugars are 0.3 g per 100g (total sugars as printed).

How to read a label — the jargon, in plain English

Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
Soya (and sometimes wheat) protein that has been extruded into a fibrous, meat-like texture. In FRY'S patties it is the protein base; the percentage (16% in Traditional, 8.6% in Chicken-Style) is the key number.
80/20 (lean/fat)
A butcher's ratio: 80% lean meat, 20% fat. Danny's Choice markets its beef patty this way; it describes the meat blend, not the full ingredient list.
Crumb / predust / batter
The coating system on a breaded patty: predust (first flour dusting), batter (wet coating), crumb (outer breadcrumb layer). A breaded patty's list is dominated by coating ingredients, which is why water and crumb can come before the protein.
Wagyu patty
A patty made from Wagyu beef. "Wagyu" on a frozen patty describes the beef breed/grade, not a recipe — the full list still needs checking.
