#DEVOUR PIZZA FREE#

Unfortunately, due to lack of label disclosure and the trans fat labeling loophole, only the food scientists will ever know just how much trans fat these refined oils and emulsifiers are contributing to foods and the American diet. Emulsifiers produced from hydrogenated fats “contain measurable concentrations' of trans fats (Hasenhuettl and Hartel 2008). Textbooks for food scientists reveal that the mono and di-glycerides and other emulsifiers are often made from hydrogenated fats (Hasenhuettl and Hartel 2008) and at temperatures above 220☌ (Sikorski and Kolakowka 2011). The United States Department of Agriculture National Nutrition Database has tested refined, partially hydrogenated and fully hydrogenated oils and found trans fats in all of them (USDA 2013).

In the case of fully hydrogenated oils, they should theoretically be free of trans fat, but since no hydrogenation process is 100 percent efficient, trans fats are often found in fully hydrogenated oils at low levels (FDA 2013). The World Health Organization recommends limits on trans fat of less than 1 to 2 grams a day-in this context, it’s easy to see that 0.6 grams is not an insignificant contribution. A 2012 study conducted by FDA scientists estimated that refined oil contributes an average 0.6 grams of trans fat a day (Doell 2012). Artificial trans fats are generated in refined oils when they are processed at high temperatures from the crude oil into a bland, odorless, colorless oil (Greyt 1999).

This is once-in-a-while food for people who want to indulge it certainly shouldn’t be treated as an everyday meal. While we love Devour’s food, we have to warn you against eating it regularly. You can see why we were puzzling over the UFC’s endorsement of this pizza, right?ĭevour’s “The Carnivore” pizza is big on flavor, but it’s also big on calories. If you eat a half of this pizza, you’ll end up consuming 950 calories and 2,100 mg of sodium. First off, how do you even cut this into fifths? Secondly, anyone who’s being honest with themselves knows that a half pizza is a more realistic serving size if you’re considering this a meal and not just a light snack. Now, Devour somehow thinks a good serving size for this pizza is 1/5 of a pizza. It’s not because we want to bum you out (though this information will certainly darken your day a bit), but because we think you should eat responsibly when you’re consuming frozen food. So, we mentioned calories earlier in this review, and now we’re going to do it. The crust is a little crisp around the edges and soft everywhere else, and it serves as a good bed upon which the rest of the ingredients sit. It’s a meaty mix that has a bit of kick to it, and it’s served on a crust that we find to be pretty tasty. We also think this could use a little more cheese.īut what’s here is lovely. This is definitely the sort of pizza that would benefit from a BBQ sauce. This flavor is super subtle, to the point where we’re not sure if we were imagining it or not, but it made us wonder why Devour didn’t use a BBQ sauce instead of a red sauce. (To be fair, pepperoni-lovers might be more at home with Devour’s Three Way Pepp Pizza.)Īnother strange thing about this pizza is that the sauce has an almost-BBQ-like flavor to it. Obviously, Team Sausage was very enthusiastic about the amount of sausage here, while Team Pepp felt like they got the short end of the stick. We’re divided on this because some Freezer Meal Frenzy staffers prefer sausage to pepperoni, while others prefer pepperoni to sausage. Because of that, the meat selection seems skewed heavily in favor of the sausage. Now, there’s pepperoni here, but it’s in the diced cube form and not the classic round slices. Most importantly, they left off the traditional slices of pepperoni. However, Devour made some choices here that are a little confusing.
