Our take

CleanPlate review

Cheese and onion chicken sausages with only 1.5% onion

Godrej Yummiez Cheese & Onion Chicken Sausage is a 250 g pack of frozen chicken sausages. The promo card and the back-of-pack panel agree and are per 100 g. Veg status is read as non-veg from the chicken in the list.

CleanPlate scores it [L]CB3. The C for nutrition is middling: 17.9 g protein per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by chicken meat, cheese and soy protein products), with additives that cost points: triphosphates and sodium nitrite. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: onion is named on the pack but makes up only 1.5% of the product. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (318 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (3.85 g per 100 g).
