Our take

CleanPlate review

Loaded chicken momos, 11 g protein, 502 mg sodium

Licious Loaded Chicken Momos is a 6-piece, 150 g pack of frozen chicken momos. The back-of-pack panel is per 100 g; the listing gives a different protein value (15.9 g), so the pack is used.

CleanPlate scores it DB3. The D for nutrition is low: only 11 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by chicken, refined wheat flour and onion), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, triphosphates, flavouring and a flavour enhancer. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (502 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (2.9 g per 100 g).
