Read beyond the headline
Three distinctions that prevent a misleading answer
01
“Bisto” is not one recipe
This guide covers Traditional Gravy Granules in the 190 g product page checked on 17 September 2026. Original Gravy Powder is a different product with a much shorter current ingredient list, and meat-flavoured, reduced-salt or “Best” ranges should be checked separately.
02
The flavour enhancers work as a pair
Monosodium glutamate and disodium 5′-ribonucleotides strengthen savoury taste. The latter is commonly used alongside glutamate because the combination is effective at low levels. The ingredients list establishes presence, not the amount of either additive.
03
Prepared and dry nutrition are not interchangeable
The per-100 g panel refers to the dry granules, while the manufacturer also reports a prepared 50 ml serving. Comparing the dry salt figure with a ready-to-eat sauce or portion without adjusting for water would be misleading.
Nutrition context
Manufacturer values for the exact variant
Manufacturer values per 100 g as sold; a prepared 50 ml portion is listed as 13 kcal and 0.47 g salt.

A reliable way to check
What this page can and cannot answer
Is this the recipe for every Bisto Traditional Gravy Granules product?
No. It covers Traditional Gravy Granules, 190 g only. Closely named variants can have different ingredients and allergens.
Why do some additive pages show an E-number that is not printed here?
UK labels can identify an additive by its specific name rather than its E-number. NutraSafe links the declared name to the corresponding reference entry where the match is clear.
What should I trust if my pack differs?
Trust the current physical pack for the food you are about to consume, particularly for allergens. The web source and this guide are dated snapshots.
