Our take
CleanPlate reviewCheesy pizza cheese sticks with an implausible protein value
Godrej Yummiez Cheesy Pizza Cheese Sticks is a 250 g pack of frozen cheese and vegetable sticks, marked veg. The panel is from the nutrition card per 100 g; net weight 250 g is from the listing because the pack line was not legible.
CleanPlate scores it [L]EC3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The declared protein figure is not credited because the ingredients cannot supply it. The C for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by corn, potatoes and red capsicum), with additives that cost points: carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium phosphates, flavouring and silicon dioxide. The [L] marks a declared value that the ingredients cannot support. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (6.84 g per 100 g) and sodium (485 mg per 100 g).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- On the packMisleading
“Protein 22.97 g per 100 g on the nutrition card”
The ingredient list (22.5% cheese, vegetables and a wheat coating) can supply only about 8 g of protein per 100 g.
- On the packBe careful
“MADE WITH CHEDDAR & MOZZARELLA CHEESE”
The list names only cheese (22.5%), not the two cheese types.

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Frozen vegetables (corn, potatoes, red capsicum), cheese (22.5%), breadcrumb, batter, palmolein oil and potato flakes, with carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium phosphates, flavour enhancers and flavouring.
Per 100 g: 255 kcal, 11.4 g fat of which 6.84 g saturated, 2.68 g sugar of which 0.5 g added, 23 g protein, 485 mg sodium. The declared protein is more than 1.5 times what the ingredients can supply, so it is not credited in the nutrition grade, the label takes 2 points and the score is provisional (IMPLAUSIBLE). The listing says 22 g protein and 0 g added sugar; the card says 22.97 g and under 0.5 g. The panel values are marked approximate at time of manufacture.

Common misconceptions

The ingredients cannot supply that much protein, so the card value should be checked.
Myth: "Cheese sticks are a vegetable snack"
The cheese and fried coating carry 6.8 g saturated fat per 100 g.
