Cosmix Fermented Yeast Protein (Indonesian Cacao)

Cosmix Fermented Yeast Protein (Indonesian Cacao) is a 500 g tub of fermented yeast protein (inactive dry yeast) with cacao powder, vanilla bean powder and monk fruit. One 38 g scoop gives about 24 g of protein. The panel prints per 100 g and per serve, and the energy per 100 g is worked out from the serve value.

CleanPlate scores it AC3. The A for nutrition reflects 62.5 g protein, 8.3 g fibre and natural iron, zinc and calcium per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by fermented yeast protein, cacao powder and vanilla bean powder), with additives that cost points: monkfruit monk fruit extract. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (355 mg per 100 g) and calories (373 kcal per 100 g).

Fermented yeast protein (inactive dry yeast), cacao powder, vanilla bean powder and monk fruit.

Per 100 g: 373 kcal, 5.8 g fat of which 2.8 g saturated, 8.5 g sugar of which 0 g added, 8.3 g fibre, 62.5 g protein, 355 mg sodium. No ingredient has a percentage, so the yeast protein, cacao and vanilla shares are hand-estimated from the protein balance (about 78%, 18% and 2%) and the score is provisional. Energy per 100 g is not printed and is worked out from 141.7 kcal per 38 g (373 kcal). The listing shows zinc 134.9 mg, which is the sodium per serve read in the wrong row; the pack panel (zinc 7.5 mg per 100 g, sodium 355 mg per 100 g) is used. The front says 500 g and a back sticker says 1 kg; 500 g is used. Yeast protein is not in the protein-quality table, so it takes the pea isolate factor (0.85).
