CleanPlate scores it DA2. The D for nutrition is low: only 2.33 g fibre per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by whole wheat flour, sweet corn and edible vegetable oil), and almost no additives. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest as made (sodium 459 mg, free sugar 0.4 g, saturated fat 0.6 g per 100 g).
