Overview
We keep McCoys McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak Flavour Ridge Cut on our food cupboard shelf alongside 46 others, and rank it on rating, review volume and live price rather than on the brand. The manufacturer puts it this way: FLAME GRILLED STEAK. Steakier than a steak on a high-stakes stakeout and meatier than an important meeting about meat: this crisp is going to make you think you’ve eaten the real thing. Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Flame Grilled Steak Flavour [Lactose (MILK), Salt, Dried Onion, Dried Yeast Extract, Flavour Enhancers: Monosodium Glutamate, E627. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. Buyers have it at 4.6 out of 5 from 2,149 ratings. We work out below what that is worth against everything else on the shelf.

How it compares on the food cupboard shelf
We track 47 rated food cupboard products, and the middle of that pack scores 4.7 out of 5. This one is on 4.6. That lands in the bottom quarter. Nothing alarming on its own, though at this money you can find better-rated neighbours, so there should be a particular reason for choosing it.
That score rests on 2,149 ratings. The median for this shelf is 2,954. That's a solid enough base to read the score, though not enough to settle it.
Price-wise it falls in the bottom third of a shelf that stretches £1.00 to £29.69, with £3.25 in the middle. Buying at the cheap end is fine as long as the rating stands up. Here it does not quite, so check what has been cut before assuming the saving is free.
