"The Bulluss Pie ...
Came in Tops."
Helen Wellings - Today Tonight
April 2002
Helen Wellings, a well respected consumer advocate and reporter with Network 7's Today Tonight TV current affairs had 10 popular pie brands tested for their meat content.
The team of chemists, led by David Laborie, tested for protein, fat, total solids and sodium, then calculated the amount of meat and the animal it came from.
The Bulluss gourmet pie, with a generous 42.2% beef, came in tops. Hillendale at 30% and Four 'N' Twenty at 28.8% came in second and third respectively. Two of the popular brands tested didn't contain the legal minimum meat content of 25%.
Bulluss Chunky Beef
You could describe the Bulluss "9.7" as a low fat yet succulent meat pie with tender chunks of meat in a texture rich sauce all surrounded in a low-salt buttered pastry. We'd like to say it's a low fat tall tasting pie.
We've spent many months developing this new low fat recipe, trialing the best produce and ingredients and with a little pride we'd like you to be amongst the first to sample our newest offering - the Bulluss Bros. "9.7" Meat Pie. Like all our pies it is available in Cocktail, Snack, Single Serve and Family sizes.
