Godrej Yummiez Cheese Cocktail Chicken Sausage
Published · Updated
Godrej Yummiez Cheese Cocktail Chicken Sausage is a frozen, microwavable sausage made mostly from chicken meat. It scores [L]CB2: nutrition is middling on its protein, ingredients lose points for sodium nitrite, a phosphate texturizer and a no-preservatives claim the list contradicts, and risk is low on sodium and saturated fat. Fine now and then as a protein-led breakfast item.

What to know about Godrej Yummiez Cheese Cocktail Chicken Sausage
Chicken sausage claims no preservatives, then lists sodium nitrite
A frozen cocktail chicken sausage sold in a 400 g buy-one-get-one pack (200 g plus 200 g free). It is built from chicken meat (68.4%), water, cheese (9%), soy protein, salt, onion powder (1.5%), cheese powder (1.5%), a texturizer, sugar and a colour fixative. It is bought as an easy microwave breakfast item.
Per 100 g you get 166 kcal, 17.9 g protein, 8.66 g fat of which 3.85 g is saturated, 0.25 g added sugar and 318 mg sodium. A 56 g serve, which the pack prints, gives about 93 kcal, 10 g protein, 2.2 g saturated fat and 178 mg sodium.
The pack says no added preservatives, but the list carries sodium nitrite (INS 250) as a colour fixative, and nitrite is a preservative. That hollow promise sets the [L] flag. The chicken itself is real and leads the list. CleanPlate scores it [L]CB2.
Does Godrej Yummiez Cheese Cocktail Chicken Sausage live up to its claims?
The no-added-preservatives claim is misleading because sodium nitrite is listed. The chicken claim holds at 68.4%, and the cheese in the name is only 9% of the sausage, plus 1.5% cheese powder.
- On the packMisleading
“No added preservatives”
Sodium nitrite (INS 250), a preservative, is listed as a colour fixative. The claim appears twice on the side of the pack.
- Product namePartly true
“Cheese Cocktail Sausages”
Cheese is real but small: 9% as processed cheese, plus 1.5% cheese powder. Chicken meat is 68.4%.
- On the packHolds
“Packed in the goodness of chicken”
Chicken meat is the first ingredient at 68.4%, giving 17.9 g protein per 100 g.
- On the packBe careful
“Quickly frozen to preserve nutrients”
Freezing is real, but the panel declares no vitamins or minerals, so there is nothing printed to show what is preserved.
Why Godrej Yummiez Cheese Cocktail Chicken Sausage scores [L]CB2
Nutrition is a C on 17.9 g protein per 100 g with no fibre or vitamins declared. Ingredients are a B, held back by sodium nitrite, a phosphate texturizer and a false preservative claim. Risk is a 2, driven by sodium and saturated fat.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 17.9 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 166 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 17.9 g per 100 g, about 43% of the 166 kcal, and chicken meat is the main source. That is a solid protein level for a sausage, but the grade is held at a C because no fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared to add to it.
A 56 g serve has about 10 g protein and 93 kcal.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.
Good, few concerning additives
- Base
- Chicken Meat
- Sweeteners
- Sugar
- Additives
- 3
- Flagged
- Sodium Nitrite
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
Chicken meat (68.4%) leads the list, followed by water and cheese (9%). Percentages are given only for chicken, cheese, onion powder and cheese powder, not for the soy protein or the other ingredients.
Sodium nitrite (INS 250) costs 3 ingredient points and the triphosphate texturizer (INS 451(i)) costs 4. The sodium citrate emulsifier in the cheese costs nothing.
The side of the pack says no added preservatives, yet sodium nitrite is listed. That costs a further 4 ingredient points and sets the [L] flag.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 0.25 g
- Sodium
- 318.1 mg
- Saturated fat
- 3.9 g
- Trans fat
- 0.1 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium is the largest driver at 318 mg per 100 g, with saturated fat next at 3.85 g per 100 g, under the 5 g high line. A serve has 178 mg sodium and 2.2 g saturated fat.
Added sugar is 0.25 g and energy is 166 kcal per 100 g, so neither moves the grade. Trans fat is declared at 0.1 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so it is accepted as printed.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Godrej Yummiez Cheese Cocktail Chicken Sausage?
Chicken meat leads at 68.4%, then water and cheese. Watch the sodium nitrite and the phosphate texturizer, and note that salt is added on top of the cheese's own salt.
The ingredient list, read for you
Chicken meat comes first at 68.4%, then water and cheese at 9%, which is itself cheese, water, a sodium citrate emulsifier and salt. Soy protein adds bulk and protein, and salt, onion powder and cheese powder give the flavour.
Sugar is listed near the end. The texturizer (INS 451(i)) is a phosphate that holds water in the meat, and the colour fixative (INS 250) is sodium nitrite, which keeps the pink colour and also acts as a preservative.
Ingredients to watch
- Sodium nitrite (INS 250)Concern
Listed as a colour fixative, but it is a preservative, so the no-added-preservatives claim fails. It costs ingredient points.
- Phosphate texturizer (INS 451(i))Worth watching
A triphosphate that costs ingredient points. It is there to hold water and keep the texture.
- SodiumWorth watching
318 mg per 100 g, 178 mg in a 56 g serve. It adds up if you eat more than one serve.
- Saturated fatWorth watching
3.85 g per 100 g, 2.2 g per serve, under the 5 g high line.
- Chicken and proteinFine
Chicken meat is 68.4% of the sausage, with 17.9 g protein per 100 g and 10 g per serve.
What it doesn’t have
- No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- Percentages are given for chicken, cheese, onion powder and cheese powder only, not for the soy protein.
