Our take
CleanPlate reviewFish seekh kebab, 46% fish, 681 mg sodium
Gadre Ready to Fry Fish Seekh Kebab is a 250 g pack of five fish kebabs, marked non-veg. The pack prints two panels whose macros agree; the energy line of the back panel (374 kcal) is about four times what its macros give and is treated as a printing error, so the 89 kcal of the side panel is used.
CleanPlate scores it EB3. The E for nutrition is low: only 9.97 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by surimi, onion paste and coriander), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, acetylated starch and silicon dioxide. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (681 mg per 100 g) and free sugar (3.71 g per 100 g).
