I've noticed adverts on (British) telly recently for Heinz tomato soup and Heinz baked beans, both claiming that they count towards your "5 a day".

While I accept that they have some nutritional value, can they really be counted as such? If so, are we now going to see the promotion of fruit and fresh veg scrapped in favour of tinned beans in a salty, sugary sauce?

Food technology is not my area of competence, but I smell a rat, especially where huge food corporations are concerned.

Any ideas/comments/info?
