Our take

CleanPlate review

Mini pizzas with real paneer and a lot of salt

Prasuma Paneer Tikka Pizza Minis are frozen bases of refined wheat flour (maida), soybean oil, salt, sugar and yeast with bread-improver enzymes, topped with a tomato and vegetable sauce with two flavour enhancers, cheese, paneer (5%) and jalapenos.

CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: only 15 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by refined wheat flour (the pizza base), refined soybean oil and sugar), with additives that cost points: calcium carbonate, sorbitan monostearate and a flavour enhancer. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (819 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (7.5 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • Product name

    “Paneer Tikka Pizza Minis”

    Partly true

    Paneer is declared at 5%; cheese and refined flour make up more of the pizza.

  • Retail listing

    “Super stuffed with Mozzarella Cheese”

    Partly true

    The list says only "Cheese", with no share and no mention of mozzarella.

  • Retail listing

    “No Preservatives or MSG”

    Partly true

    No preservative is listed, but the sauce has two flavour enhancers (INS 631, 627).

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Pizza base (refined wheat flour, water, refined soybean oil, salt, bread improver with enzymes, sugar, yeast with emulsifier INS 491) and toppings: pizza sauce (tomato, onion, garlic, carrot, leek, celery, basil, oregano, chilli flakes, spices and flavour enhancers INS 631, 627), cheese, paneer 5% and jalapenos.

Per 100 g: 320 kcal, 14.3 g fat of which 7.5 g saturated, 0.6 g sugar of which 0.2 g added, 15 g protein, 819 mg sodium. Paneer is declared at 5%, so no percentage defect applies. Frozen product, values as sold; total sugar 0.6 g, added sugar 0.2 g, no fibre line. The catalogue text has unbalanced brackets in the bread-improver list; two closing brackets were added so the sauce, cheese and paneer parse as ingredients.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Mini pizzas are a lighter pizza"

They are small but not light: 320 kcal per 100 g, with refined flour as the base.

Myth: "Paneer on top makes pizza a high-protein meal"

15 g per 100 g is decent, but it arrives with 818.7 mg of sodium.
