Study reveals frozen pizzas healthier than fresh variety

A CONSUMER watchdog has called for clearer front-of-pack labelling on takeaway pizzas after a study revealed that frozen supermarket varieties were among the healthiest.

Which? found consumers could be better off eating deep pan, stuffed crust or frozen pizzas rather than choosing the so-called “healthier” thin-based or fresh options.

Experts for the consumer group analysed 162 cheese and tomato and pepperoni pizzas available in the major supermarkets and takeaway chains, finding that frozen pizzas tended to be healthier than fresh versions.
