Our take
CleanPlate reviewCheese chicken nuggets, 667 mg sodium, 6 g saturated fat
Godrej Yummiez Cheese & Chicken Nuggets is a 325 g pack of frozen coated nuggets with 14.5% cheese. The listing says 350 g but the pack says 325 g, so the pack is used.
CleanPlate scores it DB4. The D for nutrition is low: only 11.7 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by chicken meat, cheese and breadcrumb), with additives that cost points: carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium phosphates, triphosphates and flavouring. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (667 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (6.32 g per 100 g).
