Our take

CleanPlate review

Chicken sausage: 62% chicken, 855 mg sodium

Keventer Chicken Sausage (Breakfast) is chicken (62%), corn starch, soy protein isolate and modified starch, with salt, phosphate, dextrose, spices, onion, garlic and flavour enhancers. The pack is 500 g, about 15 pieces, and the panel is printed per 100 g with a 50 g serve.

CleanPlate scores it CB3. The C for nutrition is middling: 11.4 g protein per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by chicken, corn starch and soy protein isolate), with additives that cost points: triphosphates, acetylated starch and a flavour enhancer. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (855 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (4.1 g per 100 g).

How CB3 breaks down

Each grade is scored on its own. Here are the label numbers behind each one, per 100 g.

How we score →

01 Nutritional valueA to E

Adequate nutrient density

Protein: 11.4 g
Fibre: Not declared
Vitamins and minerals: None declared
Energy: 168 kcal

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.

02 Ingredient & label integrityA to E

Good, few concerning additives

Base: Chicken
Sweeteners: Dextrose
Additives: 2
Flagged: None

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Risk nutrients1 to 5

Moderate risk

Added sugar: 1 g
Sodium: 855 mg
Saturated fat: 4.1 g
Trans fat: 0 g

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Chicken (62%), corn starch, soy protein isolate, modified starch (INS 1420), edible iodised salt, acidity regulator phosphate (INS 451(i)), dextrose, spices and condiments, dehydrated onion, flavour enhancer (INS 627 and INS 631) and dehydrated garlic.

Per 100 g: 168 kcal, 10.8 g fat of which 4.1 g saturated, 1 g sugar of which 1 g added, 11.4 g protein, 855 mg sodium. Energy matches the Atwater sum (168 kcal). Total and added sugar are printed as '<1 g', so the 1 g upper bound is used. Net 500 g, serve 50 g.

Ingredients to watch

SodiumConcern
855 mg per 100 g, about 1.4 times the 600 mg high line, about 428 mg in a 50 g serve.
AdditivesWorth watching
The phosphate costs 4 points, modified starch and the flavour enhancers (INS 627 and 631) 2 points each.
Saturated fatWorth watching
4.1 g per 100 g, just under the 5 g high line.
ProteinFine
11.4 g per 100 g, with 62% chicken.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Chicken sausages are just chicken"

Chicken is 62%; corn starch, soy protein isolate and modified starch make up much of the rest.

Myth: "High protein means a healthy salt level too"

Sodium is 855 mg per 100 g, above the 600 mg high line, even with 11.4 g of protein.

How often, and how

Healthy adultsA few times a week
ChildrenOccasionally
Diabetes or prediabetesSmall amounts, watch the sodium

Smarter ways to eat it

Serve with vegetables

A 50 g serve is 84 kcal and 5.7 g of protein, so two or three sausages with salad or sautéed vegetables.

Go easy on salty sides

The sausage already carries about 428 mg of sodium per 50 g, so skip salty sauces.
