Lean Cuisine, A Nestle brand of frozen dinners, is very popular with dieters. “Lean Cuisine” is considered a nutrient content claim by the FDA, so all products under this brand are required to meet the “lean” criteria per serving: less than 10 grams of fat, less than 4.5 grams of saturated fat, and less than 95 mg cholesterol.
We decided to take a look at Lean Cuisine’s Shrimp and Angel Hair Pasta described by Nestle as:
Shrimp and angel hair pasta in a creamy seafood sauce with accents of sherry, tossed with red peppers.
