What to know about Wingreens Farms Peri Peri Hummus Dip
A chickpea dip where sodium sets the risk
A 150 g tub of hummus built on chickpeas (40.6%), refined sunflower oil and white sesame seeds, with red chillies (1.6%), sugar, salt, vinegar, garlic, rosemary and oregano. Two preservatives, INS 200 and INS 211, keep it fresh in the fridge. It is bought as a spicy dip for chips, pita and raw vegetables.
A 35 g serve, the size the pack prints, gives 84 kcal, 2.1 g protein, 6.7 g fat and 239 mg sodium. Per 100 g that is 241 kcal, 5.9 g protein, 19.2 g fat and 682.2 mg sodium. Saturated fat is just 0.1 g, and added sugar is 1 g. The cost is in the oil and the salt, not the sugar or saturated fat.
The name promises peri peri, and the list shows red chillies at 1.6% with garlic and herbs for flavour. The chickpeas are a real base, and the list has no hydrogenated fat, colour or added flavouring. CleanPlate scores it EA3.
Why Wingreens Farms Peri Peri Hummus Dip scores EA3
Nutrition is an E because protein is only 5.9 g per 100 g and no fibre is declared. Ingredients are an A on a short, plain list, and risk is a 3, driven by 682.2 mg sodium per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density

- None declared
- Energy

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 5.9 g per 100 g, or 2.1 g in a 35 g serve, mostly from the chickpeas. That is too little to earn credit in a food where 19.2 g of every 100 g is fat.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so nothing else lifts the grade. Energy is 241 kcal per 100 g, and most of it comes from the sunflower oil.
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 at 40.6%, sunflower oil, sesame, chilli, sugar, salt, vinegar, garlic and herbs. There is no hydrogenated fat, no colour and no added flavouring.
Sorbic acid (INS 200) and sodium benzoate (INS 211) are listed as preservatives, but they carry no ingredient-point cost here. The label has no hollow promise, so nothing is lost on label integrity.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 1 g
- Sodium
- 682.2 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.1 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Sodium is almost all of the risk: 682.2 mg per 100 g, 239 mg in a 35 g serve. That puts the risk grade at 3.
Saturated fat is 0.1 g, trans fat is 0 g and added sugar is 1 g per 100 g, so they add almost nothing. Energy does not add to the risk number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
