What the label tells us
Khoai tây chiên Lay's Wavy vị phô mai cheddar — cheddar cheese. Yenzo rates it “Moderate”: fine in moderation. The main reasons are high saturated fat (15 g per 100 g) and medium sugar (6.7 g per 100 g). A 56 g pack holds about 0.7 g of salt — 14% of the 5 g a day the WHO recommends adults stay below. It is also ultra-processed (NOVA 4), going by how Yenzo classifies its ingredients. Energy: 533 kcal per 100 g.
Open Food Facts lists 10 additives with a code number — antioxidant: alpha-tocopherol (307); flavour enhancers: monosodium glutamate (621), disodium guanylate (627) and disodium inosinate (631); acacia gum (gum arabic) (414), mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (471), sodium phosphates (339(ii)), xanthan gum (415), silicon dioxide (551) and citric acid (330). None of them is at “moderate” or “high” risk on the Yenzo Scale. Vietnamese labels often print an additive as its function plus its number, for example “chất điều vị (621)”. There is also artificial flavouring (“low” on the Yenzo Scale).
Of the 25 snacks in the Yenzo catalogue, 22 others are also rated “Moderate”, and none is rated higher. Some products of the same kind list less saturated fat per 100 g: compare labels before you buy. See all snacks
