What to know about Wingreens Farms Original Olive Hummus Dip

A chickpea-led dip with oil and salt to mind

Wingreens Farms Original Olive Hummus is a refrigerated dip in a 150 g pack, built from chickpeas (44.1%), refined sunflower oil, white sesame seeds, olives (5%), iodized salt, vinegar, garlic and sugar, with two preservatives. It is bought as a ready-made spread for bread, wraps and vegetable sticks.

A 35 g serve gives 88 kcal, 1.9 g protein, 7.4 g fat and 0.18 g saturated fat. Per 100 g the dip has 252 kcal, 5.4 g protein, 21.1 g fat and 467.9 mg sodium. Added sugar is just 0.9 g per 100 g, and the pack holds about four serves.

The name promises olive hummus, and the list delivers chickpeas, sesame and olives, though olives are a small 5%. The front also says traditionally handmade, which the ingredient list does not confirm either way: refined oil and two preservatives are in it. CleanPlate scores it EA2.

Why Wingreens Farms Original Olive Hummus Dip scores EA2

Nutrition is an E because the panel declares no fibre, vitamins or minerals and protein is modest at 5.4 g per 100 g. Ingredients are an A on a short list, and risk is a 2, driven by sodium.

How we score →

01 Nutrition densityA to E

Very low nutrient density

Protein: 5.4 g
Fibre: Not declared
Vitamins and minerals: None declared
Energy: 252 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 5.4 g per 100 g, about 9% of the calories, and chickpeas are the largest source. No fibre is declared, so nothing is credited for it.

No vitamins or minerals are declared either, so the nutrition grade has little to build on and lands at the bottom.

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 integrityA to E

Clean, minimally processed

Base: Chickpeas
Main fat: Refined Sunflower Oil
Sweeteners: Sugar
Additives: 2
Flagged: Sodium Benzoate

02 Ingredient integrity: why A

The list is short and recognisable: chickpeas lead at 44.1%, followed by sunflower oil, sesame, olives, salt, vinegar, garlic and a little sugar. The percentages for chickpeas and olives are declared, and no label promise is hollow.

The two preservatives, sorbic acid (200) and sodium benzoate (211), are listed, but they carry no ingredient-point cost here. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the 0 g trans fat is accepted.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk1 to 5

Low risk

Added sugar: 0.9 g
Sodium: 467.9 mg
Saturated fat: 0.5 g
Trans fat: 0 g

03 Load risk: why 2

Sodium is almost all of the risk: 467.9 mg per 100 g, about 164 mg in a 35 g serve. Saturated fat is only 0.5 g per 100 g and added sugar 0.9 g, so both add very little.

Energy of 252 kcal per 100 g comes mostly from oil and adds nothing to the risk number. Trans fat is declared as 0 g. The risk grade is a 2.

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

Does Wingreens Farms Original Olive Hummus Dip live up to its claims?

The olive hummus name holds, with olives at 5%, a small real share. Traditionally handmade is a framing the ingredient list cannot confirm, since refined oil and preservatives are listed.

What's in Wingreens Farms Original Olive Hummus Dip?

Chickpeas lead at 44.1%, then refined sunflower oil, sesame and olives. Sodium at 467.9 mg per 100 g and the two preservatives are what to know.

The ingredient list, read for you

Chickpeas (44.1%) lead, so this is mainly a chickpea paste. Refined sunflower oil and white sesame seeds give it the creamy body, and olives (5%), garlic, vinegar and salt give the flavour. A little sugar balances the vinegar, and two preservatives, sorbic acid (200) and sodium benzoate (211), keep it for its chilled shelf life.

The pack says it may contain milk, soy and nut.
