Our take

CleanPlate review

Hot and crispy chicken bites, 950 mg sodium

Godrej Yummiez Hot & Crispy Chicken Nuggets is a 175 g pack of frozen chicken bites plus a 50 g sachet of atomic sauce. The back-of-pack panel is per 100 g; the coating and pre-dust are scored as refined flour (tier 20).

CleanPlate scores it CB3. The C for nutrition is middling: 14.3 g protein per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by chicken meat, refined palmolein oil and pre-dust), with additives that cost points: diphosphates, triphosphates, flavouring and oxidised starch. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (950 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (2.52 g per 100 g).
