CleanPlate review

Jumbo chicken hotdogs, 8.6 g saturated fat per 100 g

Meatzza Jumbo Chicken Sausage is a 250 g pack of fully cooked chicken jumbo hotdogs (the pack front says Chicken Jumbo Hotdog; the listing name is used). The panel is per 100 g and no ingredient percentages are declared.

CleanPlate scores it CB3. The C for nutrition is middling: 11.5 g protein per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by boneless chicken meat, beet juice powder and starch), with additives that cost points: triphosphates and sodium nitrite. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (8.63 g per 100 g) and sodium (369 mg per 100 g).
