Nuggets végétaux

Nuggets vegetaux are plant-based soy-protein nuggets that fall into the protein-source PNNS group and are marketed as a vegan alternative to chicken nuggets. They earn an A Nutri-Score and provide 14 g of protein and 5.7 g of fiber per 100 g while keeping sugars low at 1.1 g, but they contain 0.9 g of salt and are classified as an ultra-processed (NOVA 4) product with added flavorings and the stabiliser methylcellulose (E461). The 180 g tray is packaged in a mix of plastic and cardboard, includes soy as a declared allergen, and despite its vegan label relies on several processed ingredients and additives that may concern health-aware consumers.
