CleanPlate review

Turkish Adana mutton kebab, 800 mg sodium per 100 g

Delichic Turkish Adana Mutton Seekh Kebab is a 250 g pack of frozen mutton kebabs. The pack shows no veg or non-veg mark in the images read, so veg status is left blank; the listing shows cholesterol and calcium in grams, which are unit errors and are not used.

CleanPlate scores it CA4. The C for nutrition is middling: 19 g protein per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by mutton turkish kebab, mutton boneless and mutton fat), with additives that cost points: a flavour enhancer. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (800 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (6 g per 100 g).
