CleanPlate review

Chicken seekh kebab: 15.6 g protein, no sodium line

Carnivore Regular Chicken Seekh Kebab is a 500 g frozen heat-and-eat kebab made with chicken (62%), water and soya granules, with onion, garlic, corn flour, spices, phosphates, sugar and sodium nitrite. 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 chicken, soya granules and onion), with additives that cost points: diphosphates, triphosphates and sodium nitrite. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (4.07 g per 100 g) and is held at 3 because the panel prints no sodium line.
