Why Wingreens Farms Classic Nacho Cheese Dip scores DB4
Nutrition is a D: protein of 10.5 g per 100 g is the only real credit. Ingredients are a B, held back by two phosphates and a colour. Risk is a 4 on 12.6 g saturated fat and 965 mg sodium.
Low nutrient density

- Vitamins and minerals

- Energy
- 232 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 10.5 g per 100 g, mostly from the cheese, and that is the one thing that earns credit. A 35 g serve gives 3.7 g.
No fibre or vitamins and minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade. Energy is 232 kcal per 100 g, 81 kcal per serve.
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.
Good, few concerning additives

- Water
- Sweeteners

- Flagged
- None
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and leads with water, cheese and milk solids. There is no hydrogenated fat, no sweetener and no label-integrity penalty, which is why the grade is higher than the nutrition grade.
Sodium phosphates (339) and polyphosphates (452) cost ingredient points, and so does the synthetic beta-carotene colour (160a(i)). Sorbic acid, lactic acid and sodium citrates cost nothing.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 965 mg
- Saturated fat
- 12.6 g
- Trans fat
- 0.7 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium and saturated fat drive the risk number. Saturated fat is 12.6 g per 100 g, about two and a half times the 5 g high line, and sodium is 965 mg per 100 g.
Trans fat is declared at 0.7 g per 100 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared figure is accepted and still adds to the risk. Added sugar is 0 g and plays no 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 sodium (965mg per 100g)

Does Wingreens Farms Classic Nacho Cheese Dip live up to its claims?
The cheese in the name is real and sits second on the list. The share of cheese is printed differently on the retailer page and the pack, so that is flagged.
- Product nameHolds
“Classic Nacho Cheese Dip”
Cheese is the second ingredient, with milk solids after it, and it supplies most of the 10.5 g protein per 100 g.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Cheese share on the label”
The retailer page shows cheese at 17%, the pack shows 37% on the ingredient line. Water, milk solids and the other ingredients carry no percentage.
What's in Wingreens Farms Classic Nacho Cheese Dip?
Water, cheese and milk solids lead a short list. The additives to watch are two phosphate emulsifiers and a synthetic colour, which cost ingredient points.
7 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 no concern. 3 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water leads, then cheese and milk solids, so the dip is a cheese base thinned with water. The emulsifiers (452 (i), 339 (iii), 331 (iii)) keep the cheese and water smoothly blended. Lactic acid (270) adjusts acidity, sorbic acid (200) preserves it, and two colours (160a(i) and 160e) give the orange cheese shade.
The label numbers, read for you
Saturated fat is 12.6 g per 100 g, or 4.4 g in a 35 g serve, and sodium is 965 mg per 100 g, or 338 mg a serve. Those two numbers decide the risk grade. Total fat is 20 g per 100 g and trans fat is declared at 0.7 g.
Protein is 10.5 g per 100 g, 3.7 g a serve. Total sugar is 2.4 g and added sugar is 0 g. No fibre or vitamins are declared.
What the additives do
Sorbic Acid (no concern): stops mould and yeast. A preservative against mould and yeast, the parent of potassium sorbate. Judged together with it; no concern at normal intakes. More on Sorbic Acid.
Not in our additive research yet: Emulsifiers (INS452 (i), INS 339 (iii), INS 331(iii)); Acidity Regulator (INS 270); Colour (INS 160a(i), INS 160e).
Ingredients to watch
- Sodium phosphates (INS 339 (iii))Worth watching
An emulsifier salt that keeps the cheese and water blended into a smooth dip. It costs ingredient points.
- Polyphosphates (INS 452 (i))Worth watching
An emulsifier that holds the melted-cheese texture together and stops the dip separating. It costs ingredient points.
- Beta-carotene, synthetic (INS 160a(i))Worth watching
A colour that gives the dip its orange cheese shade. It costs ingredient points.
- Sorbic acid (INS 200)Fine
A preservative that slows mould and yeast so the dip keeps in the fridge.
What it doesn’t have
- No fibre or vitamins and minerals are declared on the panel.
