Product Insights

VEG CORDON VERT is a plant‑based protein breaded nugget marketed as a vegan alternative to traditional cordon bleu. It belongs to the plant‑based protein dietary family, carries a Nutri‑Score of C and is classified as NOVA 4 ultra‑processed; per 100 g it provides 9.2 g fat (lower than the 10.7 g average), 1.5 g salt and 0.7 g sugars (both below averages), but only 7.7 g protein and 218 kcal, giving it modestly higher energy. The formulation uses wheat and soy proteins, added fibers and several additives such as citric acid (E330), carrageenan (E407), konjac (E425), methylcellulose (E461) and a preservative (E14xx), making it vegan-friendly but less ideal for those avoiding ultra‑processed ingredients.
