What to know about Prasuma Pepper & Herb Chicken Sausage
86% chicken, held together with gums and phosphates
A 250 g frozen sausage pack built on chicken meat (86%) and water, seasoned with iodised salt, pepper and herbs (1%), nutmeg and coriander. A stabiliser blend, an antioxidant, flavour enhancers and an emulsifier hold it together. It is sold as a quick high-protein snack for people who want cooked meat with no prep, and the pack serves three to four.
Per 100 g you get 139 kcal, 12.4 g protein, 7.7 g fat (2.3 g saturated), 5.0 g carbohydrate and no sugar. The pack's 70 g serve, two pieces, gives about 97 kcal and 8.7 g protein, and the whole pack holds about 31 g. What it costs is salt: 462 mg sodium per 100 g, so about 323 mg in a serve.
The name promises pepper and herbs, and they are real but only 1% of the recipe. The chicken claim is the one the list backs up most clearly. Several additives (carrageenan, two phosphates, methylcellulose and flavour enhancers) cost ingredient points. CleanPlate scores it CB2.
Why Prasuma Pepper & Herb Chicken Sausage scores CB2
Nutrition is a C on 12.4 g protein per 100 g with no fibre or vitamins declared. Ingredients are a B, held back by carrageenan, phosphates and flavour enhancers. Risk is a 2, driven by 462 mg sodium per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 12.4 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 139 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 12.4 g per 100 g, and almost all of it comes from the chicken: 86% chicken at about 13 g protein per 100 g gives about 11.2 g. Fat is 7.7 g and carbohydrate 5.0 g, with no sugar.
No fibre figure or vitamins and minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein alone and stays in the middle.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
Chicken meat leads at 86%, followed by water and salt, which is a short and understandable start. Pepper and herbs are 1%, with nutmeg and coriander.
The additive tail is what holds the grade back. Carrageenan (407), diphosphates (450), triphosphates (451), methylcellulose (461) and the flavour enhancers (631, 627) each cost ingredient points. Ascorbic acid (300), the antioxidant, costs none.
No claim on the pack is hollow, so nothing is lost for label integrity.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 462 mg
- Saturated fat
- 2.3 g
- Trans fat
- 0.07 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium is most of the risk: 462 mg per 100 g, and 323 mg in a 70 g serve. Saturated fat adds a smaller part at 2.3 g per 100 g, about 1.6 g a serve.
Sugar is 0 g and energy is moderate at 139 kcal per 100 g, so neither adds. Trans fat is declared at 0.07 g per 100 g, with no hydrogenated fat in the list.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
