What to know about Wingreens Farms Classic Hummus Dip
A chickpea dip carried mostly by sunflower oil
A 150 g chilled hummus dip built from chickpeas (44.6%), refined sunflower oil and white sesame seeds, seasoned with iodized salt, sugar, vinegar, garlic and cumin, and kept with two preservatives. It is bought as a ready dip for bread, crackers, pasta or sandwiches.
Per 100 g it has 259.8 kcal, 5.7 g protein, 21.8 g fat, 0.5 g saturated fat and 471.3 mg sodium. In the 35 g serve the pack prints, that is about 91 kcal, 2 g protein, 7.6 g fat and 165 mg sodium, and a tub gives 4.3 servings.
The name promises hummus, and the list backs it up: chickpeas lead and sesame is present. Nothing on the front is a hollow promise. The two preservatives, sorbic acid (INS 200) and sodium benzoate (INS 211), are the one thing to notice on an otherwise short list. CleanPlate scores it EA2.
Why Wingreens Farms Classic Hummus Dip scores EA2
Nutrition is an E because protein is modest against 21.8 g fat per 100 g. Ingredients are an A on a short list led by chickpeas, and risk is a 2, driven by 471.3 mg sodium per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 5.7 g per 100 g, with chickpeas the main source, but the dip is 21.8 g fat and 259.8 kcal per 100 g, so protein is a small part of what you eat. Protein is scaled down to a factor of 0.85, and the nutrition score stays at zero.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so nothing else adds to 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 A
The list is short and recognisable: chickpeas (44.6%), refined sunflower oil, white sesame seeds, salt, sugar, vinegar, garlic, cumin. No hydrogenated fat is listed, and no colour or flavouring.
The two preservatives, sorbic acid (200) and sodium benzoate (211), are listed but carry no ingredient points here. No front-of-pack promise is hollow, so label integrity is clean.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar

- Sodium
- 471.3 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.5 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium is almost all of the risk: 471.3 mg per 100 g, about 165 mg in a 35 g serve. That puts risk at 2.
Saturated fat is low at 0.5 g per 100 g, added sugar is 1 g, and trans fat is 0 g. Energy at 259.8 kcal per 100 g does not move the risk number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
