Our take

CleanPlate review

High protein chicken sausage, 16 g protein, low fat

Prasuma Chicken Sausage is a 250 g pack of frozen chicken sausages made with soy protein as well as chicken. The promo card and the back-of-pack panel agree and are per 100 g. Veg status is read as non-veg from the chicken in the list.

CleanPlate scores it CB3. The C for nutrition is middling: 15.9 g protein per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by chicken meat, textured soy protein and isolated soy protein), with additives that cost points: carboxymethyl cellulose, triphosphates, guar gum and cellulose. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (584 mg per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

    “High protein sausage”

  • On the pack

Common misconceptions

Soy protein adds to the total; the chicken share is less than the protein figure suggests.

Myth: "Low fat means low salt"

The fat is low, but 584 mg sodium per 100 g is not.
