Our take

CleanPlate review

Corn and cheese nuggets, low protein, high saturated fat

Godrej Yummiez Corn Cheese Nuggets is a 235 g pack of vegetable nuggets with sweet corn and cheese, marked as a veg product. The back-of-pack panel is per 100 g and agrees with the listing on energy.

CleanPlate scores it DB3. The D for nutrition is low: only 9.86 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by sweet corn, cheese and bread crumb), with additives that cost points: carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium phosphates, flavouring and acetylated starch. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (462 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (6.23 g per 100 g).
