CleanPlate review

Cheesy spicy veg momos, low protein, sauce preservatives

Prasuma Cheesy Spicy Veg Momos is a 24-piece pack, 600 g, of frozen steamed vegetable momos with a spicy cheese filling and a momo sauce. The back panel is per 100 g and matches the listing.

CleanPlate scores it EA3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 5.5 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The A for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by cheese, cabbage and refined wheat flour), with additives that cost points: a flavour enhancer. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (457 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (3.45 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “Preservative Free”

    Partly true

    The momos are preservative free, but the momo sauce in the pack contains preservatives, as the back says.

  • On the pack

    “Momos are Preservative Free. Pack includes Momo Sauce which contains Preservatives.”

    Holds

    The back states the sauce exception.

Common misconceptions

Steamed, but the cheese filling and refined wheat dough add saturated fat and salt.

Myth: "Preservative free momos"

The momos are, but the sauce pack is not, and the front claim does not say so.
