CleanPlate review

Garlic and coriander naan of refined flour and milk solids

Aashirvaad Garlic & Coriander Naan (Heat & Eat) is a 400 g pack of five frozen naans, marked veg. The panel is per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it EB3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 6 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by refined wheat flour, milk solids and garlic), with additives that cost points: diphosphates. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (374 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (3.7 g per 100 g).
