Our take

CleanPlate review

Veg protein momos, 12 g protein, 352 mg sodium

Hello Tempayy Classic Protein Veg Momos is a 230 g pack of ten frozen vegetable momos, maida free and marked veg. The back-of-pack panel is per 100 g; the sauce is a separate list whose panel was not entered, so only the momos are scored.

CleanPlate scores it EA2. The E for nutrition is low: only 12 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by semolina, tempeh and carrot), with additives that cost points: DATEM and sodium stearoyl lactylate. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 352 mg, free sugar 0.7 g, saturated fat 1.4 g per 100 g).
