What’s it? We love the Peppercorn Food Company sausages, burgers, and meatloaves. Every item is extra lean, meaning less than 3% saturated oil per serving. They also get the Heart Foundation approval. The burgers are made with fresh ingredients, gluten-free, and the packaging can be composted. You can get burgers in both traditional beef and spicy Asian varieties. The sausages come in extra lean beef, pork and chicken, and Italian-style.
Where can you buy it? This Peppercorn Food range is available in Woolworths and other leading independent supermarkets across the country.

What do we think? Jen, a busy mom, tests the Peppercorn Food Company range with her husband Anthony, Oliver, and Harrison, five-year-old Oliver. Delicious sausage and salad sandwiches were created by her (Oliver also helped! You can also make delicious homemade hamburgers and an excellent sausage supreme pizza.
What is the most challenging thing about back-to-school dinner routines?
Oliver’s first question when I pick him up from school is, “Did you bring me something to snack on, Mum?” In the hopes that it will last him until dinner, I always bring along a small snack to take with me. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Other times, he will snack until dinner is ready and then eat a full meal. It is common for us to finish dinner by 5:30 pm on a weeknight.
What should you look out for when looking for family-friendly food and ingredients?
Fresh! Fresh! I only look for the things that my boys like. Every other week I throw in a new dish. Sometimes it goes down well, sometimes not.
Oliver loves pasta. He’ll eat anything that has pasta on it. He also loves mashed potato, so he’ll be happy if he gets sausages/chicken/fish with mashed potato. Harrison still eats puree food but enjoys homemade beef and pumpkin with carrots.
