Nutritional Summary
The product scores well due to its simple ingredients, no added sugar, and very low sodium content in its frozen state. The final health impact is highly dependent on the preparation method. Baking is a much healthier option than the recommended deep frying, which would significantly increase fat and calorie content. The use of Palmolein oil is a minor negative.
