Our take

CleanPlate review

Protein masala momos, 13 g protein, 322 mg sodium

Hello Tempayy Mighty Masala Protein Veg Momos is a 10-piece pack of frozen vegetable momos made with tempeh and semolina, maida free and marked veg. The panel is per 100 g; the sauce is not scored.

CleanPlate scores it DA2. The D for nutrition is low: only 13 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by semolina, tempeh and onion), 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 322 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 1.4 g per 100 g).

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Semolina, tempeh, onion and vegetables, with DATEM and sodium stearoyl lactylate as dough additives and a tikka seasoning.

Per 100 g: 233 kcal, 5.2 g fat of which 1.4 g saturated, 1 g sugar of which 0 g added, 13 g protein, 322 mg sodium. The pack panel prints no fibre line, so the back-copy line that calls tempeh high in fibre is noted but not tested against a declared zero. Tempeh is scored as a fermented whole soybean cake (tier 35).

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Protein momos are a whole meal"

They are a protein top-up, but the dough and sauce add carbohydrate and salt.

Myth: "Tempeh adds fibre to the panel"

The panel prints no fibre line, so the fibre is not counted.
