Our take

CleanPlate review

Garlic chicken seekh kebab, 70% chicken, 1.6 g trans fat

Delichic Lehsuni Chicken Seekh Kebab is a 500 g pack of frozen chicken kebabs. No veg or non-veg mark was visible in the images read, so veg status is left blank. The panel and ingredient list are from the brand's listing cards; the front of the pack prints a different table and a chicken share of 64%.

CleanPlate scores it CA4. The C for nutrition is middling: 18.2 g protein per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by chicken meat, wheat flour and edible soya), with additives that cost points: polyphosphates. The 4 for risk comes mainly from trans fat (1.64 g per 100 g) and sodium (605 mg per 100 g).
