What to know about Amul French Fries
Two ingredients, mostly starch, light on salt
Amul French Fries are frozen potato fries in a 1.25 kg pack, which is a 1 kg pack with 250 g free. The ingredient list has two items: potatoes (92%) and edible vegetable oil, named as refined palmolein oil, with no share declared for the oil. They are bought as a quick side that goes from freezer to fryer or air fryer without thawing.
Per 100 g the fries have 119 kcal, 2.5 g protein, 20 g carbohydrate, 4 g fat and 2 g saturated fat. Sugar is 0 g and sodium is 45 mg. The pack prints a 50 g serve, which works out to about 60 kcal, 1.3 g protein, 1 g saturated fat and 23 mg sodium, and the pack holds 25 of those serves.
The name and the front are plain: potatoes, oil, nothing else, and the list backs that up. What the fries do not offer is protein, fibre or vitamins, and the oil you add when frying is not in these numbers. CleanPlate scores it EA1.
Why Amul French Fries scores EA1
Nutrition is an E because protein is only 2.5 g per 100 g and no vitamins or minerals are declared. Ingredients are an A for a two-item list with no additives, and risk is a 1 on 2 g saturated fat and 45 mg sodium.
Very low nutrient density

- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 119 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 2.5 g per 100 g, and most of it comes from the potatoes themselves. Carbohydrate is 20 g per 100 g and energy is 119 kcal, so the fries are mostly starch.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing adds to the grade beyond the small protein figure.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is potatoes (92%) and refined palmolein oil, with no additives, no flavouring, no colour and no hydrogenated fat. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.
The one gap is that the oil share is not declared, which is the only thing that holds this grade back from being perfect.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Saturated fat is the biggest part of the risk number: 2 g per 100 g, well under the 5 g high line, or about 1 g in a 50 g serve.
Sodium is 45 mg per 100 g, about 23 mg per serve, and sugar is 0 g. Energy is 119 kcal per 100 g, so nothing pushes the risk grade above a 1.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Potatoes are 92% of the list, so the claim fits the product. Where they are grown is the maker's statement and cannot be read from the ingredients.
What's in Amul French Fries?
Potatoes lead at 92%, followed by refined palmolein oil. There are no additives, and the oil share is the only number the label leaves out.
The ingredient list, read for you
Potatoes lead at 92%, so these are mainly cut potato. The only other ingredient is edible vegetable oil, named as refined palmolein oil, which is the fat that helps the fries crisp. Its share is not declared. There is no salt, flavouring, colour, coating or additive in the list.
Ingredients to watch
- Starch-heavy, little proteinWorth watching
20 g carbohydrate and only 2.5 g protein per 100 g, so the fries add energy more than nutrition.
- Saturated fat from palmolein oilWorth watching
2 g per 100 g, about 1 g in a 50 g serve. It is under the high line but is the largest part of the risk grade.
- Oil used for cookingWorth watching
The figures are for the frozen product. Deep frying adds oil on top, while air frying or baking adds far less.
- SodiumFine
45 mg per 100 g, about 23 mg per serve, before any salt you add at the table.
- Ingredient listFine
Potatoes (92%) and refined palmolein oil only, with no additives and 0 g trans fat.
What it doesn’t have

Recipes with Amul French Fries
Air fry at 200 °C for 12 to 15 minutes, or shallow fry for 5 to 6 minutes, to keep the added oil low and the salt in your hands.
Air-fryer fries
Pre-heat to 200 °C and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking midway, to keep added oil low on a 4 g fat base per 100 g.
Shallow-fried fries
Cook for 5 to 6 minutes in a little oil straight from frozen, with no thawing.
Fries with a homemade dip
Serve with curd and herbs or a tomato dip. Sodium is only 45 mg per 100 g, so you decide how much salt goes in.
Fries beside a protein dish
Pair a 50 g to 100 g serve with eggs, paneer or dal, since the fries add just 2.5 g protein per 100 g.
