- None declared
- Energy
- 144 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 2.69 g per 100 g and fibre is 1.48 g, and nearly all the protein comes from the potato itself. That is too little of either to earn credit, which is why the grade sits at the bottom.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts it. Energy is moderate at 143.69 kcal per 100 g, about 115 kcal in an 80 g serve.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is two items, potatoes at 95% and refined palmolein oil, with no additives, no colours and no flavourings. Palmolein is a refined palm oil, but it is not hydrogenated and trans fat is declared as 0 g.
Nothing on the pack is a hollow promise, so no label points are lost. The only gap is that the oil share is not declared.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is the lowest grade. Saturated fat is 2.49 g per 100 g, half the 5 g high line, and sodium is 64 mg per 100 g, about 51 mg in a serve.
Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither adds to it. Saturated fat from the oil is the largest part of the number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in HyFun French Fries?
Potatoes at 95% and palmolein are the whole list, with no additives. The number to keep in mind is the oil, whose share is not declared.
2 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern.

What to know about HyFun French Fries
Two clean ingredients, but little protein or fibre
HyFun French Fries are a 425 g bag of frozen, straight-cut potato fries. The list has two items: potatoes at 95% and refined edible vegetable oil (palmolein), with the oil share not declared.

Per 100 g the panel shows 143.69 kcal, 2.69 g protein, 21.06 g carbohydrate, 5.41 g fat and 64 mg sodium. The pack's serve is 80 g, which gives about 115 kcal, 4.3 g fat and 51 mg sodium, and a bag holds a little over five serves.
The pack promises no added preservatives, no added salt, trans fat free and cholesterol free, and the label backs all four. What it does not offer is protein, fibre or any declared vitamins. CleanPlate scores it EA1.

Recipes with HyFun French Fries
Air fry or oven-crisp the fries and add a curd dip or masala at the table, so you control the salt and add the protein the fries lack.
Air-fryer fries
Preheat to 200°C and air fry for 12 to 15 minutes straight from frozen, so the fat stays close to the 5.41 g per 100 g on the panel.
Masala fries with your own salt
Toss hot fries with chaat masala and a pinch of salt, since the fries start at only 64 mg sodium per 100 g.
Fries with a curd dip
Serve with thick curd and chopped coriander to add the protein, because 80 g of fries gives just over 2 g.
