Why Imagine Plant Based Mutton Seekh Kebab scores DC3
Nutrition is a D, with 13.36 g protein per 100 g but no fibre or vitamins declared. Ingredients are a C because gums, a caramel colour and flavourings cost points. Risk is a 3, driven by 5.2 g saturated fat and 392 mg sodium per 100 g.
Low nutrient density

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 207 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 13.36 g per 100 g and 20 g in a 150 g serve, mostly from soy granules, with wheat gluten adding more. That counts in its favour, but energy is 207 kcal per 100 g and the base is water, oil and refined flour.
No fibre or vitamins and minerals are declared, so little else adds to the grade.
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 C
The list starts with water, soy granules (15%) and refined sunflower oil, then a vegetable fat spread of coconut oil and rice bran oil. Maida and wheat gluten are the binders, and the vegetables and spices are small and undeclared in amount.
Additives cost ingredient points: carrageenan (407) costs the most, then caramel colour (150d), and smaller amounts for xanthan gum, methylcellulose, enzyme-treated starch, soy lecithin and the nature-identical flavourings. No hydrogenated fat is listed, and the label makes no hollow promise.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 1.6 g
- Sodium
- 392.3 mg
- Saturated fat
- 5.2 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Sodium and saturated fat do most of the work: 392 mg sodium and 5.2 g saturated fat per 100 g, with the saturated fat just above the 5 g high line. One serve has 588 mg sodium and 7.8 g saturated fat.
Added sugar is 1.63 g per 100 g, so it adds little. No trans fat value is printed and none is listed as an ingredient.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Imagine Plant Based Mutton Seekh Kebab live up to its claims?
The protein, cholesterol, plant-based and palm-oil claims hold. The mutton name is flagged by the pack's own footnote as flavour only, and the 40 g protein figure is for the whole 300 g pack.

What's in Imagine Plant Based Mutton Seekh Kebab?
Water, soy granules and oils lead, with wheat gluten and maida as the binders. The watch items are the carrageenan, the caramel colour and the flavourings.
28 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 3 low concern. 4 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water, soy granules (15%) and refined sunflower oil lead, so the kebab is mostly water, soy protein and oil. A vegetable fat spread of coconut and rice bran oil (70.4% of the spread) adds richness, and maida and wheat gluten hold it together.
Capsicum, garlic, onion, coriander, ginger and green chilli give the seekh seasoning, with yeast extract and nature-identical mutton and smoke tandoor flavourings supplying the meaty taste. The gelling agent, thickener, emulsifier and caramel colour shape the texture and colour.
The label numbers, read for you
Per 100 g the panel shows 207 kcal, 13.36 g protein, 10.55 g fat, 5.2 g saturated fat and 392 mg sodium. Saturated fat sits just above the 5 g high line, and sodium is the other number that moves the risk grade.
In the pack's 150 g serve, half the pack, that is about 311 kcal, 20 g protein, 7.8 g saturated fat and 588 mg sodium. Added sugar is low at 1.63 g per 100 g. No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared.
What the additives do
Maida (low concern): cheap, soft base flour. Refined wheat flour with the bran and germ removed. Low in fibre and quick to digest. More on Maida.
Carrageenan (low concern): thickener and stabiliser. A seaweed-derived thickener used in dairy drinks and desserts. Food-grade carrageenan is approved, but its effect on the gut is debated. More on Carrageenan.
Caramel Colour (Class IV) (low concern): dark brown colour. Sulphite ammonia caramel, the brown colour in colas and sauces. It can contain 4-MEI, a by-product IARC lists as possibly carcinogenic. More on Caramel Colour (Class IV).
Not in our additive research yet: Soy Lecithin (INS 322); Xanthan Gum (INS 415); Emulsifier (INS 461); Thickener (INS 1405).
Ingredients to watch
- Nature-identical flavourings (mutton, smoke tandoor, general)Worth watching
Recreate the mutton and tandoor taste that soy and wheat do not have. They cost ingredient points.
- Methylcellulose (INS 461), xanthan gum (INS 415), soy lecithin (INS 322)Worth watching
Bind and emulsify the oil and water so the kebab holds its shape and stays moist. They cost ingredient points.
- Enzyme-treated starch (INS 1405)Fine
A thickener that helps hold water in the mix and firms the texture. It costs ingredient points.
- Carrageenan (INS 407)Fine
A gelling agent that gives the plant mix a meat-like bite and holds moisture. It costs ingredient points.
- Caramel colour class IV (INS 150d)Fine
Browns the kebab so it looks grilled. It costs ingredient points.
What it doesn’t have
- No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- No percentage is given for the vegetables or spices.
What to know about Imagine Plant Based Mutton Seekh Kebab
A soy kebab with 20 g protein per serve and a long additive list
A 300 g frozen pack of plant-based seekh kebab, built from water, soy granules (15%), refined sunflower oil and a vegetable fat spread of coconut and rice bran oil, with capsicum, garlic, onion, spices, maida and wheat gluten. It is sold to people who want the shape and spice of a mutton seekh without meat, ready in about five minutes on a pan.
Per 100 g the panel shows 207 kcal, 13.36 g protein, 10.55 g fat, 5.2 g saturated fat and 392 mg sodium. The pack prints a 150 g serve, two per pack, so one serve is about 311 kcal, 20 g protein, 7.8 g saturated fat and 588 mg sodium. The pack's 40 g protein headline is for the whole 300 g.

The list also carries a gelling agent, a thickener, an emulsifier, a caramel colour and three flavourings. CleanPlate scores it DC3.
