Our take

CleanPlate review

Tempeh veg momos that miss the high protein line

Hello Tempayy Peri Peri Protein Veg Momos is a pack of 10 frozen veg momos, marked veg. The panel is per 100 g and agrees with the listing except two listing slips (sodium given in grams, added sugar 0.7 g); the pack says 254 mg and 0 g and is used.

CleanPlate scores it [L]EB2. The E for nutrition is low: only 10.7 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by semolina, tempeh and cabbage), with additives that cost points: DATEM and sodium stearoyl lactylate. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "High Protein" does not hold: protein 10.7 g per 100 g is under 11 g (5.5 for drinks) and 5.07 g per 100 kcal is under 5.5. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 254 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 1.6 g per 100 g).

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Protein momos are high protein"

At 10.7 g per 100 g they are decent for a momo but under the high protein line.

Myth: "Maida free means light"

Semolina is still a refined starch, so the momo is a modest protein snack, not a protein food.
