Our take

CleanPlate review

Aloo tikki, 78% potato, 4 g protein, 559 mg sodium

HyFun Aloo Tikki is a 400 g pack of 10 frozen potato tikki, marked veg. The panel is per 100 g and agrees with the listing.

CleanPlate scores it EA3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by potatoes, refined edible vegetable oil and corn flour), with additives that cost points: xanthan gum. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (559 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (2.52 g per 100 g).
