CleanPlate scores it [R]DD1. The D for nutrition is low: only 13.5 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The D for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by refined wheat flour, milk solids and hydrolyzed vegetable protein), with additives that cost points: flavouring and a flavour enhancer. A red flag (hydrogenated fat / vanaspati (unqualified)) cuts the score by 40%. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest as made (sodium 263 mg, free sugar 0.37 g, saturated fat 0.246 g per 100 g).
