Why Veeba Cheesy Melt Chilli Paprika Dip scores EB4

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 2.6 g per 100 g, so about 0.4 g in a 15 g tablespoon, and the largest protein contributor is the cheese powder. No fibre or vitamins and minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade.

Energy is 394 kcal per 100 g, almost all of it from 37.4 g fat, so the dip gives calories without much else.

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

The list is simple at the top: water, refined soyabean oil, cheese powder and milk solids. No hydrogenated fat is listed, and the label makes no hollow promise, so there is no label-integrity penalty.

Points are lost for additives: nature-identical flavouring, modified starches 1442 and 1450, xanthan gum 415 and the antioxidant TBHQ (319). Each costs ingredient points, which holds the grade at a B.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sodium drives the risk: 1,040 mg per 100 g is the largest part of the number, and one tablespoon has about 156 mg.

Saturated fat at 6.5 g per 100 g is above the 5 g high line, and energy adds more. Added sugar is 3.6 g per 100 g and plays only a small part. Together they give a risk grade of 4.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Red flags

  • Red flag: High sodium (1040mg per 100g)
  • Red flag: High saturated fat (6.5g)
  • Red flag: Contains Sodium Benzoate
  • Red flag: Contains TBHQ

Green flags

Nothing stands out in its favour.

Does Veeba Cheesy Melt Chilli Paprika Dip live up to its claims?

Trans fat free holds, but Cheesy Melt and Chilli Paprika rest on 6.0% cheese powder and 1.2% chilli. The no artificial flavours line is framed, since nature-identical flavours are listed.

  • Product name

    “Cheesy Melt”

    Partly true

    Cheese powder is real but only 6.0% of the dip, with milk solids alongside it. Water and soyabean oil make up most of it.

  • Product name

    “Chilli Paprika”

    Partly true

    Dehydrated chilli is listed at 1.2%. Paprika is not named separately in the ingredients.

  • On the pack

    “NO Synthetic Colours, NO Artificial Flavours”

    Be careful

    No colour is listed. The flavours are described as nature-identical and natural flavouring substances, which are made to copy natural molecules, so the claim is framed narrowly.

  • On the pack

    “Trans Fat free”

    Holds

    Trans fat is declared as 0 g per 100 g and no hydrogenated fat appears in the ingredient list.

What's in Veeba Cheesy Melt Chilli Paprika Dip?

Water, soyabean oil and cheese powder lead the list, held together by modified starches and xanthan gum. The flavouring, starches, gum and TBHQ are what to watch.

How we rate additives →

18 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 2 low concern, 2 no concern. 5 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.

The ingredient list, read for you

Water and refined soyabean oil lead, so this is an oil-in-water emulsion. Cheese powder (6.0%) and milk solids give the cheesy taste, and dehydrated chilli (1.2%) adds the spice. Sugar, iodised salt and lemon juice season it.

Modified starches (1442, 1450) and xanthan gum (415) keep the oil and water mixed and the dip thick. Acidity regulators, two preservatives, an antioxidant and a sequestrant keep it stable on the shelf. It contains milk.

The label numbers, read for you

Sodium is the number that decides the score: 1,040 mg per 100 g, or about 156 mg in one 15 g tablespoon. Saturated fat is 6.5 g per 100 g, about 1 g per tablespoon, and total fat is 37.4 g per 100 g.

Protein is small at 2.6 g per 100 g, and added sugar is 3.6 g per 100 g, about 0.5 g per tablespoon. Fibre and vitamins and minerals are not declared. A 200 g jar holds about 13 tablespoon servings.

What the additives do

Sodium Benzoate (low concern): preservative for acidic foods. A preservative for acidic foods and drinks. With vitamin C it can form small amounts of benzene under heat and light. More on Sodium Benzoate.

TBHQ (low concern): stops oils going rancid. A synthetic antioxidant that stops oils from going rancid. Permitted within limits, but common in heavily processed, oil-rich foods. More on TBHQ.

Modified Starch (no concern): thickener and stabiliser. Starch treated to hold up to heat, acid and freezing (for example E1442). No daily limit is needed, but it marks a processed food. More on Modified Starch.

Potassium Sorbate (no concern): stops mould and yeast. A widely used preservative against mould and yeast. Low toxicity. More on Potassium Sorbate.

Not in our additive research yet: INS 1450; INS 415; INS 260; INS 330; Sequestrant (INS385).

Ingredients to watch

  • Flavours (Nature-Identical & Natural Flavouring Substances)Worth watching

    Add the cheesy, spiced taste so the dip needs less real cheese and chilli. It costs ingredient points.

  • Xanthan gum (INS 415)Worth watching

    A thickener that keeps the oil and water from separating and gives the dip its body. It costs ingredient points.

  • TBHQ (INS 319)Fine

    An antioxidant that stops the soyabean oil going rancid on the shelf. It costs ingredient points.

  • Hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate (INS 1442)Fine

    A modified starch that thickens the sauce and helps it hold together. It costs ingredient points.

  • Starch sodium octenyl succinate (INS 1450)Fine

    A modified starch that helps keep oil and water mixed so the dip stays creamy. It costs ingredient points.

What it doesn’t have

  • No fibre or vitamins and minerals are declared on the panel.

What to know about Veeba Cheesy Melt Chilli Paprika Dip

A cheesy dip that is mostly oil, water and salt

Veeba Cheesy Melt Chilli Paprika Dip is a 200 g jar of emulsified sauce built from water and refined soyabean oil, with cheese powder (6.0%), milk solids, sugar, salt, lemon juice and dehydrated chilli (1.2%). It is bought as a ready spread for sandwiches, wraps, fries and snacks, for people who want a cheesy, spicy kick without making a sauce.

Per 100 g it gives 394 kcal, 37.4 g fat of which 6.5 g is saturated, 2.6 g protein and 1,040 mg sodium. The pack suggests a 15 g tablespoon, which works out to about 59 kcal and 156 mg sodium, and a jar holds about 13 of those servings.

The front says Cheesy Melt and Chilli Paprika, but cheese powder is only 6.0% and chilli 1.2%, so the body of the dip is oil, water and starch-based stabilisers. Trans fat is declared as 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
