CleanPlate review

Classic veg momos, low protein, sauce preservatives

Prasuma Classic Veg Momos is a 24-piece, 480 g pack of frozen vegetable momos with a momo sauce. The back panel is per 100 g and matches the listing, except that the listing repeats ginger.

CleanPlate scores it EB2. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by refined wheat flour, cabbage and onion), with additives that cost points: a flavour enhancer. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 567 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.79 g per 100 g).

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

  • On the pack
