Our take
CleanPlate reviewPlant-based kebab lifted by added isolated fibre
Blue Tribe Foods Plant Based Spicy Veg Kebab is a 250 g pack of frozen soya kebabs, marked veg. The panel is per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it [F]DC2. The D for nutrition is low: only 9.44 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The [F] marks that added isolated fibre lifts the grade; without it it would be E. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by soya flour, edible vegetable oil and wheat gluten), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, flavouring, methylcellulose and a flavour enhancer. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 200 mg, free sugar 0.17 g, saturated fat 2.56 g per 100 g).
