Our take

CleanPlate review

Palm-fried wafers with a fuller label.

CleanPlate scores it BB3. The B for nutrition reflects a declared 5.3 g of fibre and other nutrients that most chip brands do not disclose. The B for ingredients is held back by palmolein. The 3 for risk comes from energy and saturated fat.
