Who might choose these cakes?

Plant-based snackers comparing protein figures

Kallo labels its Protein Packed Lentil Cakes vegan and gluten-free. Its published nutrition panel lists 26g protein per 100g; check the pack you buy for the current figures.

People putting together a TV dinner

If the cakes are a base or side rather than the whole meal, their per-cake protein figure matters. Kallo lists 1.8g per cake on its product page, so consider what you plan to serve with them.

Gluten-free shoppers checking allergens

Kallo labels the lentil cakes gluten-free, but its product page carries a may-contain warning for sesame and soya. Its direct shop also flags possible milk cross-contamination. Check the current pack if any of these allergens matter to you.

What should you compare?

Start with the protein figures for the exact cake, then decide whether it will be a base, a side or the main part of your TV dinner.

Priority What to check Your needs
Protein content Compare protein per 100g and per cake on the exact packs. Kallo lists 26g per 100g and 1.8g per cake for its Protein Packed Lentil Cakes; ASDA lists 8.5g per 100g and 0.6g per cake for Kallo Organic Lightly Salted Wholegrain Rice Cakes. I want the cake itself to contribute protein, not just provide a crunchy base.
Meal composition Consider how many cakes you will eat and what you will serve with them. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust identifies foods including pulses, tofu, eggs and fish as protein sources. If the cakes are only one part of dinner, I can choose the other components to suit the meal I have in mind.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients and allergen statement. Kallo labels its lentil cakes vegan and gluten-free, but warns that they may contain sesame and soya; its direct shop also mentions possible milk cross-contamination. I need to check the actual pack rather than assume that vegan or gluten-free labelling answers an allergy question.
Type of cake Check whether you are choosing the lentil-based Kallo product or a conventional wholegrain rice cake. Similar shapes do not establish similar ingredients or nutrition. A plain rice cake could work as a base for toppings, but I would compare its protein figure separately.

What could affect your choice?

  • Expecting a few cakes to make the whole dinner

    Kallo lists 1.8g protein per Protein Packed Lentil Cake on its product page. The number of cakes you eat changes how much they contribute to the meal.

    Check protein per cake on the pack and consider a protein-containing topping or another part of the meal if that is your reason for choosing them.

  • Assuming every rice cake has similar protein content

    Kallo lists 26g protein per 100g for its Protein Packed Lentil Cakes, while ASDA lists 8.5g per 100g for Kallo Organic Lightly Salted Wholegrain Rice Cakes.

    Compare the per-100g and per-cake figures for the precise products you are considering.

  • Overlooking a may-contain statement

    Kallo's published allergen information for the lentil cakes mentions sesame and soya; its direct shop also mentions possible milk cross-contamination.

    If you need to avoid any of these allergens, inspect the current pack's ingredients and allergen declaration before eating.
