What to know about SPT Frozen Green Peas
Plain peas, held back by one odd sodium figure
SPT Frozen Green Peas is a 500 g bag of individually quick-frozen green peas. The ingredient list has a single item, farm fresh peas grains, with no percentage declared. It is bought as a stock-up vegetable for the freezer, ready to go into rice dishes, soups, stews and stir-fries.
What you get is a light, filling vegetable: 93 kcal, 6.5 g protein and 3.6 g fibre per 100 g, with 0.1 g fat, no saturated fat and no sugar listed as added. Iron is 1.4 mg and calcium 18 mg per 100 g. The one number that does not fit is sodium, printed as 3,182 mg per 100 g, which is far too high for peas with nothing else in the bag.
The front says no preservatives, no colour and no chemical, and the ingredient list agrees: there is nothing else in it. The sodium figure is the only thing that looks wrong, and it sets the risk grade. CleanPlate scores it AA4.
Why SPT Frozen Green Peas scores AA4
Nutrition and ingredients are both an A: 6.5 g protein and 3.6 g fibre per 100 g, and one clean ingredient. Risk is a 4 only because of the printed sodium, 3,182 mg per 100 g.
Exceptional nutrient density
- Protein
- 6.5 g
- Fibre
- 3.6 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- Iron, Calcium, Vitamin C
- Energy
- 93 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why A
Protein is 6.5 g and fibre 3.6 g per 100 g, in just 93 kcal. Fat is 0.1 g, and the protein comes from the peas themselves.
Iron at 1.4 mg and calcium at 18 mg per 100 g add a mineral bonus on top of the protein and fibre, which is what takes the grade to the top band.
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 A
The list is a single item, peas, so there are no additives, no refined base and no hidden fats or sugars. Nothing costs ingredient points.
The no preservatives, no colour and no chemical claims match the list, so no label points are lost either. The only gap is that no percentage is given for the one ingredient.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the only part of the risk number that scores: 3,182 mg per 100 g, which lands the grade on a 4. It is far above what peas contain, so the figure looks like a printing error, but it is scored as printed.
Sugar, saturated fat and trans fat are all 0 g, and energy at 93 kcal per 100 g adds nothing. With a correct sodium figure, the risk grade would very likely be much lower.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
