How much sugar and salt is in a serving?
For specific nutritional values, please refer to the packaging or the official Heinz website, as these can vary slightly.
Can this product be microwaved?

Troubleshooting
Hoops are too dry or sauce is too thick
Add a small amount of water (1-2 tablespoons) to the saucepan or dish while heating and stir to combine. Ensure you are not overheating, which can cause the sauce to thicken excessively.
Hoops are mushy or broken
Avoid over-stirring during heating. Gentle stirring is recommended. Do not boil the mixture, as this can break down the hoop structure.
Difficulty opening the tin
Ensure you are using a clean and functional can opener. If the opener is not working, try a different type of can opener or seek assistance.
