CleanPlate review

Darjeeling chicken momos, 10 g protein, 620 mg sodium

Wow! Momo Darjeeling Chicken Momos (Frozen) is a 10-piece pack of frozen chicken momos with a sauce, marked non-veg. The panel is per 100 g; the listing sugar differs slightly and the pack is used.

CleanPlate scores it DB3. The D for nutrition is low: only 9.96 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by chicken, refined wheat flour and margarine and fat spread), with additives that cost points: flavouring, calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide and a flavour enhancer. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (620 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (6.01 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 INS 631 and yeast extract are, which also boost the savoury taste.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Chicken, refined wheat flour, margarine and fat spread, onion, coriander, ginger, refined oil, maltodextrin and salt, with flavour enhancers INS 627 and 631, yeast extract and an anticaking agent.

Per 100 g: 226 kcal, 12.4 g fat of which 6.01 g saturated, 2.92 g sugar, 9.96 g protein, 620 mg sodium. The back-of-pack ingredient text is only partly legible, so the list should be checked against the pack. Margarine and fat spread is listed with no hydrogenation wording.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "No MSG means no flavour boosters"

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

Myth: "Chicken momos are a light meal"

Margarine in the filling adds saturated fat on top of the salty dough.
