CleanPlate review

French fries with two ingredients and almost no salt

Amul Happy Treats French Fries (Frozen) is a 425 g pack of frozen fries, marked veg. The front says edible vegetable oil and the back says refined palmolein oil; the front is used.

CleanPlate scores it EA1. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by potatoes and edible vegetable oil), and almost no additives. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 45 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 2 g per 100 g).
