Google comes up with the answer straight away.

However considering they are calling it wild mushroom risotto, you would think it would have more than 0.4% of them!

Risotto Rice (28%), Mushroom (19%) , Reconstituted Dried Whole Milk (Water, Dried Whole Milk) ,Water ,Onion ,Milk ,White Wine ,Cream , Cheddar Cheese (1.5%) ,Cornflour ,Wheat Flour , Wild Mushrooms (0.4%) ,Garlic Pur!e ,Porcini Mushroom Powder ,Salt ,Rosemary ,Black Pepper. ,Risotto Rice contains ,Water ,Risotto Rice ,Salt. ,Cheddar Cheese contains ,Milk ,Anti-TempText5 ,Salt. ,Wild Mushrooms contains ,Oyster Mushroom ,Porcini Mushroom ,Shiitake Mushroom.

The pack also states 400g, yet the nutrition values are - misleadingly - for 355g, so all the calories are coming from carbs 72g, with 7.2g sugars and 9.2g fat. A high GI food (lack of discernible protein doesn't help), you will be hungry in no time, and it will spike your blood sugar. But that's the idea behind processed, 'light/low-fat' foods! That's the real sin! :mad:

Checked the SW online and it's coming up as 5 syns for Green or EE and 17 for Red.

It is shown as Light Choices mushroom risotto, 400g frozen.
