What to know about Veeba Sandwich Spread Cheese & Chilli
A cheese spread that is 37.5 g fat per 100 g
Veeba Sandwich Spread Cheese & Chilli is a creamy, emulsified spread sold for sandwiches, wraps and toasts. It is built from refined soyabean oil, water, synthetic vinegar and sugar, with cheese (4.0%), milk solids, red chillies (2.25%), tomato paste and spices. Starches and a gum hold it together, and two preservatives and an antioxidant keep it stable.
The pack counts 16 servings of 1 tablespoon (about 15 g). One tablespoon gives about 58 kcal, 5.6 g fat, 1 g saturated fat and 123 mg sodium. Per 100 g the spread has 386 kcal, 37.5 g fat, 6.5 g saturated fat, 4.6 g added sugar and 2.2 g protein, with no fibre declared.
The name and the front promise cheese and chilli, and both are in the list, but in small amounts: cheese is 4.0% and chilli 2.25%. The no synthetic colours and trans fat free claims hold. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
Why Veeba Sandwich Spread Cheese & Chilli scores EB4
Nutrition is an E because the spread is almost all fat with 2.2 g protein and no fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a B, and risk is a 4 on 820 mg sodium and 6.5 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 2.2 g per 100 g and the largest contributor is the cheese. No fibre is declared, so nothing lifts the grade. Energy is 386 kcal per 100 g, almost all from 37.5 g of fat.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the nutrition grade has no extra credit to draw on.
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 led by refined soyabean oil, water, synthetic vinegar and sugar. Cheese comes fifth and chilli well down the list, and only those two carry a declared percentage.
Nature-identical flavouring, the modified starches (1442 and 1450) and xanthan gum (415) each cost ingredient points. The antioxidant TBHQ (319) costs the most. The preservatives 211 and 202, the acidity regulator and the sequestrant 385 are listed but cost no points. No hollow label promise was found, so the grade stays a B.

High risk
- Added sugar
- 4.6 g
- Sodium
- 820 mg
- Saturated fat
- 6.5 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the biggest driver at 820 mg per 100 g, about 123 mg in one tablespoon. Saturated fat is 6.5 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, and energy adds more.
Added sugar is 4.6 g per 100 g, a small part of the risk. Trans fat is 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed. One tablespoon keeps all of these low, so the risk depends on how much you spread.
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 (820mg 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.

What's in Veeba Sandwich Spread Cheese & Chilli?
Refined soyabean oil, water, vinegar and sugar lead the list, with cheese fourth in line. Watch the sodium, the saturated fat and the TBHQ antioxidant.
The ingredient list, read for you
Refined soyabean oil leads, then water, synthetic vinegar (water and acetic acid) and sugar, so the base is an oil-and-water emulsion. Cheese (4.0%) and milk solids add dairy flavour, and red chillies (2.25%), tomato paste and spices add the heat.
Modified starches 1442 and 1450 and xanthan gum (415) keep the emulsion thick. Citric acid is the acidity regulator, preservatives 211 and 202 and antioxidant TBHQ (319) extend shelf life, and nature-identical flavouring with sequestrant 385 finishes the list. The pack says it contains milk.
