Our take

CleanPlate review

Paneer pops: 67% paneer, 9.2 g saturated fat

Godrej Yummiez Paneer Pops Nuggets is a 200 g pack of frozen fried paneer bites: paneer (67%) in a refined palmolein oil, wheat flour breader, predust and batter. The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it DB4. The D for nutrition is low: only 13 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by paneer, refined palmolein oil and spicy breader), with additives that cost points: diphosphates, oxidised starch, acetylated starch and acetylated distarch adipate. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (889 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (9.19 g per 100 g).
