CleanPlate review

Mutton kebab with chicken skin and a thin panel

Carnivore Mutton Seekh Kebab is a 500 g frozen ready-to-eat kebab made with mutton (43%), chicken skin (11%), water and soya granules, with onion, garlic, corn flour, spices, two phosphates, sodium nitrite and sugar. The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it CB3. The C for nutrition is middling: 15.6 g protein per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by mutton, chicken skin and soya granules), with additives that cost points: diphosphates, triphosphates, sodium nitrite and silicon dioxide. The 3 for risk is a floor: the panel prints no sodium, saturated fat or sugar line, so none is credited as a risk.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Mutton (43.06%), chicken skin (10.77%), water, soya granules, onion, garlic, corn flour, green chilly, iodised salt, ginger, coriander leaves, spices and condiments, emulsifier (451 and 450), sugar, ascorbic acid (300), dehydrated basil, acidity regulator (330), tomato powder, dried mango powder, anti-caking agent (551) and preservative (250).

Per 100 g: 193 kcal, 8.58 g fat, 15.6 g protein. The panel prints only energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate lines: no sodium, saturated fat or sugar, so none is credited as a risk and the score is provisional. The pack also states added natural and nature-identical flavouring, which is not in the ingredient list and is not scored. The pack spells it kabab; the listing spelling is used.
