Lightly Coated Sweet Potato Fries
Product Insights
Lightly Coated Sweet Potato Fries are a vegan, starch‑based vegetable product marketed as a frozen side dish. They carry a Nutri‑Score of C and belong to Nova group 4, reflecting an ultra‑processed status due to multiple added starches, maltodextrin and food‑additives such as disodium diphosphate and sodium bicarbonate. Nutritionally they provide 241 kcal per 100 g with 7.6 g fat (1.1 g saturated), 5.7 g fibre and 3.3 g protein, but the 16 g of sugars and 0.46 g of salt are relatively high, making them a calorie‑dense, sweetened side rather than a low‑sugar option.
