Our take

CleanPlate review

Tandoori paneer pizza, hydrogenated fat, 899 mg sodium

HyFun Tandoori Paneer Pizza is a 240 g pack of two 120 g frozen pizzas. The panel prints per 100 g and per 120 g; the per 100 g column is used. Paneer is named in the product name but its share is not declared.

CleanPlate scores it [R]DD4. The D for nutrition is low: only 13.1 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The D for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by pizza base, mozzarella cheese and pizza sauce), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, sodium phosphates, potassium phosphates and flavouring. A red flag (hydrogenated fat / vanaspati (unqualified)) cuts the score by 40%. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (899 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (8.32 g per 100 g).
