CleanPlate review

Adana chicken kebab with no sodium line printed

Delichic Turkish Adana Chicken Seekh Kebab is a 370 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 pack prints energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat and sugar, but no sodium and no saturated fat.

CleanPlate scores it DA3. The D for nutrition is low: only 11.9 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by chicken, onion and parsley), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (600 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (4.7 g per 100 g).
