Missing a comma rather than a word I would have thought

"As good as, if not better, blah blah"
Am I right?

Two commas, I would say.

What word is missing?

I agree with the previous posters - it needs a comma, maybe two.

Missing an as

It should say:

As good as, if not better than, other ready meals.

I could accept the lack of commas, but the missing 'as' does grate.

As good as, if not better than...

If you remove the "if not better than" in its current form, it doesn't make sense

"As good other ready meals"

Exactly!

Maybe they should just jettison the words and use images of the meals instead!
Reminds me of 'Eats, shoots and leaves ' 🤣

Family butcher - anyone? Just me then...
... and overuse of ellipsis... Just put an end the suspense!
