Why Wingreens Farms Cheesy Chipotle Sauce scores EB5
Nutrition is an E because protein is 1.2 g per 100 g and nothing else is declared. Ingredients are a B, and risk is a 5, driven mainly by 1,378 mg sodium per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 398 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 1.2 g per 100 g, and the largest contributor is the cheese powder at about 0.7 g. Energy is 398 kcal per 100 g, and most of it comes from the 38 g of fat.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade.
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
Water, sunflower oil and sugar lead the list. Red chilli paste at 7.5% and cheese powder at 3% are the named flavour ingredients, and only these three have a declared percentage.
Cheese is a real ingredient at only 3%, which costs ingredient points because the name leans on it. Nature-identical flavouring, modified starch (1442) and xanthan gum (415) also cost ingredient points. The preservatives and acidity regulators do not.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk
- Added sugar
- 10.6 g
- Sodium
- 1377.7 mg
- Saturated fat
- 6.4 g
- Trans fat
- 0.7 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Sodium is the biggest driver at 1,377.7 mg per 100 g, followed by saturated fat at 6.4 g and added sugar at 10.6 g. A serve of 15 g carries 207 mg sodium.
Trans fat is declared at 0.7 g per 100 g and adds to the risk. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared figure is accepted. Energy of 398 kcal per 100 g adds a smaller part.
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 added sugar (10.6g per 100g)
- −Red flag: High sodium (1377.7mg per 100g)
- −Red flag: High saturated fat (6.4g)
- −Red flag: Contains trans fat (0.7g)
Green flags
Nothing stands out in its favour.
Does Wingreens Farms Cheesy Chipotle Sauce live up to its claims?

The ingredient list, read for you
Water and refined sunflower oil (37.5%) lead, then sugar, red chilli paste (7.5%) and cheese powder (3%). Liquid glucose adds more sweetness, and milk solids add dairy body. Iodized salt, garlic, yeast powder and mixed spices give the savoury flavour.

- Sodium benzoate (INS 211)Fine
A preservative that stops mould and yeast growing in a sauce that is mostly water.
- Sorbic acid (INS 200)Fine
