Our take

CleanPlate review

Spicy chicken momos, 9 g protein, 326 mg sodium

Prasuma Spicy Chicken Momos is a 10-piece pack, 270 g, of frozen chicken momos with a momo sauce. The back panel is per 100 g; the listing gives different ingredients (E numbers, oil), so the pack is used.

CleanPlate scores it DA2. The D for nutrition is low: only 8.87 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by chicken meat, refined wheat flour 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 326 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 4.26 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 contains preservatives, as the back says.

  • Retail listing

    “Made with fresh chicken”

    Be careful

    Listing only; not checked against the pack.
