Household Ingredients Compared › Marinated and ready-to-cook meat (Singapore)
Marinated meat is raw meat plus a marinade — and the marinade is where the ingredients are. A plain chicken breast has one ingredient; the same breast marinated has ten or twenty, and the second ingredient is very often sugar. This page covers raw meat sold marinated and ready to cook (pan-fry, air-fry, grill or stir-fry at home) in Singapore supermarkets: chicken, pork and beef, including satay with its sauce, char siew and bulgogi. Cooked ready meals, frozen dumplings and sausages are separate categories.
This page does not give a health score or a “best” pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed and flags what is in it.

Flag — page mix-up: the FairPrice page headed for the Lau Pa Sat Chicken satay carries the ingredient block headed “Ingredients For Beef Satay”, and the page headed for the Beef satay carries a block headed for chicken satay. The beef list above is panelled exactly as printed on the chicken-headed page, under the beef product name, with the mix-up stated — the two blocks were not silently swapped, and the SG pack must settle which list belongs to which product.

All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 g unless a separate per-serving table says otherwise. Sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars separately. No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned.
Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.
Total vs added sugars: Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as “added sugar”. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sugar, glucose syrup, invert sugar syrup) versus naturally occurring sugars (lactose in milk/cream).
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.

Click a column header to sort. Rows marked “not stated” always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. Salt equivalent = sodium × 2.5, shown in brackets.
Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for any marinated product on this page. FairPrice ingredient sections retrieved for this category give ingredients but no nutrition panel in the sources retrieved, and no per-100 g panel was taken from a generic database — a generic marinade figure would not describe the pack on the shelf. The nutrition figures for marinated meat therefore remain unverified until an SG pack panel is photographed. What can be said without a panel: sugar is the second ingredient in most marinades panelled here, so the sugars figure on a pack panel will not be the plain meat's figure; and satay sauce adds peanuts, palm oil and sugar on top of the meat.
Checked 12 November 2026 from: FairPrice Singapore ingredient sections (Golden Chef Chicken Bulgogi Spicy, Cantonese Char Siew, Singapore Pork Satay Unskewered, Lau Pa Sat Satay Street Beef/Chicken, FairPrice Frozen Pak Satay with Gravy Chicken; MasterGrocer Marinated Chicken Breast Classic Original; Cut Butchery Marinated Teriyaki Chicken Chop and Thai Tom Yum Marinated Chicken Bites). Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page, so its shelf could not be panelled from its site. Nutrition section added 12 November 2026: no per-100 g panel was verified for any product, and none is borrowed from a generic database; the section states this plainly rather than presenting unverified numbers. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
