Our take

CleanPlate review

Cheese chicken momos, 13.7 g protein, sodium not printed

Wow! Momo Cheese Chicken Momos (Frozen) is a 10-piece pack of frozen chicken and cheese momos with a sauce, marked non-veg. The nutrition card prints energy, fat, carbohydrate, protein and sugar per 100 g but no sodium row, so the risk grade is floored at a 3 and the score is provisional.

CleanPlate scores it CC3. The C for nutrition is middling: 13.7 g protein per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by chicken, refined wheat flour and cheese), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, triphosphates, flavouring and calcium carbonate. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (6.49 g per 100 g) and trans fat (0.2 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “No Preservatives”

    Holds

    The list has no preservative.

  • On the pack

    “No MSG”

    Partly true

    MSG (INS 621) is not listed, but flavour enhancers INS 627 and 631 and yeast extract are, which also boost the savoury taste.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "No MSG means no flavour boosters"

Flavour enhancers 627 and 631 and yeast extract do the same job.

Myth: "No sodium on the card means low salt"

Cheese, margarine and the dough carry salt, so the missing value is treated as a risk, not as zero.
