About Pizza pops pepperoni
Pizza Pops Pepperoni are a popular processed frozen snack originating in Canada, often categorized under convenience foods. They are pocket-style pastries filled with ingredients typical of pizza, such as pepperoni, cheese, and tomato sauce. These snacks are typically a blend of refined flour, processed meats, and dairy. A serving (typically one portion) provides approximately 280-300 calories, 10-12 grams of fat, 36-40 grams of carbohydrates, and 7-9 grams of protein. While Pizza Pops are convenient and flavorful, they are high in sodium (580-620 mg per serving) and may lack essential nutrients such as fiber and certain vitamins due to the use of processed ingredients.
Health Benefits
