CleanPlate review

Cheese onion pizza pocket with 27% cheese, 490 mg sodium

Amul Happy Treats Cheese Onion Pizza Pocket (the pack reads Amul Cheese Onion Pockets) is a 360 g pack of frozen pockets with 27% processed cheese. The panel is for the pocket per 100 g; the chutni sachet values are not scored.

CleanPlate scores it DB3. The D for nutrition is low: only 9.8 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by processed cheese, refined wheat flour and refined palm oil), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (490 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (5.7 g per 100 g).
