Samyang Buldak 2x Spicy Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen is a 140 g packet of fried noodles (76.7%) with a double-spicy chilli sauce (22.7%) holding chilli and habanero powder and a sesame and laver flake. The pack prints a per-serve panel (140 g), converted here to per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it EC3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 9.29 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by noodles, soy sauce and sugar), with additives that cost points: sodium phosphates, flavouring, riboflavin and acetylated starch. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (5.71 g per 100 g) and calories (393 kcal per 100 g). The grade is held at 3 because the panel prints no sodium line.

The panel prints no sodium line, so sodium is not credited as a risk and the score is provisional.
