Our take
CleanPlate reviewHot and spicy chicken seekh kebab, 61% chicken
Meatzza Hot & Spicy Chicken Seekh Kebab is a 250 g pack of frozen chicken kebabs, marked non-veg. Net weight 250 g is confirmed on the back; the panel is per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it [L]CA3. The C for nutrition is middling: 18.2 g protein per 100 g. The declared fibre, calcium and iron figure is not credited because the ingredients cannot supply it. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by boneless chicken meat, soya protein and onion), with additives that cost points: triphosphates. The [L] marks a declared value that the ingredients cannot support. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (711 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (4.92 g per 100 g).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- On the packMisleading
“Fibre 4.08 g, calcium 249 mg and iron 5.52 mg per 100 g on the panel”
61% chicken, soya protein and a few vegetables cannot supply that much fibre, calcium or iron.
