Our take

CleanPlate review

Keema samosa with a missing ingredient list

Delichic Keema Chicken Samosa is a frozen pastry filled with minced chicken, onions, ginger-garlic paste and spices. The pack is 200 g and its four-line panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it [L]EB3. The E for nutrition is low: only 15 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by refined wheat flour, minced chicken and onions), and almost no additives. The [L] marks an ingredient list that leaves out the pastry shell and the frying oil. The 3 for risk comes mainly from the combined load of sodium, sugar and fat.

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Chicken Keema Samosa”

    Holds

    The filling is minced chicken with onions and spices.

  • On the pack

    “Ingredients: minced chicken, onions, ginger-garlic paste, spices”

    Misleading

    The list leaves out the pastry shell and the frying oil, although the panel shows 30 g carbohydrate and 17 g fat per 100 g.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Minced chicken, onions, ginger-garlic paste, chilli powder, cumin, coriander and garam masala; the pack prints no shell, oil or additive.

Per 100 g: 300 kcal, 17 g fat, 0 g sugar, 15 g protein. The pack prints only this list and a four-line panel: calories 300, protein 15 g, fat 17 g and carbohydrate 30 g per 100 g, with no sodium, saturated fat or trans fat; sugar is 0 g from the front strip. Energy is 11% below the Atwater sum (333 kcal). For scoring, the pastry shell (about 40% refined wheat flour) and frying oil (about 9%) are inferred from the panel, which costs 2 label points and sets an [L]; the risk grade is held at 3 and the score is provisional. Net 200 g.

Ingredients to watch

  • Incomplete ingredient listConcern

    No pastry shell or frying oil is listed, though 30 g carbohydrate and 17 g fat are printed.

  • Missing panel linesConcern

    Sodium, saturated fat and trans fat are not printed, so the risk grade cannot be better than 3.

  • CaloriesWorth watching

    300 kcal per 100 g, about 600 kcal in the 200 g pack.

  • ProteinFine

    15 g per 100 g, from the minced chicken and the shell.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "A short ingredient list means a simple food"

The list shows only the filling; the shell and oil are missing even though the panel prints 30 g carbohydrate and 17 g fat.

Myth: "Zero sugar means a light snack"

It has 300 kcal per 100 g, about 600 kcal in the 200 g pack.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsOccasionally
  • ChildrenRarely
  • Diabetes or prediabetesLimit

Smarter ways to eat it

Air-fry rather than deep-fry

The pack gives air-fryer and oven instructions; air-frying adds less oil.

Check the salt yourself

Sodium is not printed, so keep the chutney small and add fresh vegetables or curd.
