Highest protein: canned meal, ranked
Three canned and instant meals tie for the most protein on Australian shelves at 13.3 g protein per 100 g: San Remo La Pasta Alfredo Single Snack 80g, San Remo La Pasta Alfredo 160g and Belladotti Cous Cous Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil 110g, all verified against their pack labels.
The canned dinner shelf splits cleanly: meat stews at 8 to 12 g protein per 100 g, canned spaghetti at 2. If the can is dinner, this ranking is the difference between a meal and a snack.
Method. Protein per 100 g as sold from the verified dataset. Meat stews lead; pasta-in-sauce products are mostly carbohydrate. Covers the 92 on-shelf products with this
value; updated with the shelf. Ties rank jointly. Never sponsored, never hand-ordered.
