Why Beyond Snack Original Style Kerala Banana Chips scores CB4
Nutrition is a C on modest protein and fibre, ingredients are a B on a short banana-led list, and risk is a 4 because saturated fat is 11.6 g per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 5 g
- Fibre
- 6.1 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 510 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 5.03 g per 100 g and fibre is 6.12 g, which is enough for a middling grade but not more. The protein mostly comes from the banana, so it earns only partial credit.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.
Good, few concerning additives
- Base
- Raw Banana
- Main fat
- Refined Vegetable Oil
- Sweeteners
- None added
- Additives
- 2
- Flagged
- Palmolein, TBHQ
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and led by raw banana at 72%, with palmolein at 25% and a 3% seasoning. Nothing is hydrogenated, and no label promise is hollow, so the label-integrity points are untouched.
Two additives cost ingredient points: TBHQ (319), the antioxidant, and silicon dioxide (551), the anticaking agent in the seasoning.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 310.1 mg
- Saturated fat
- 11.6 g
- Trans fat
- 0.18 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the biggest driver at 11.63 g per 100 g, more than twice the 5 g high line, and a 20 g serve has about 2.3 g.
Energy (510 kcal per 100 g) and sodium (310 mg per 100 g) add to it, and trans fat is declared at 0.18 g per 100 g. Added sugar is 0 g, so it plays no part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

The ingredient list, read for you
Raw banana leads at 72%, followed by refined palmolein at 25% and a 3% seasoning. The seasoning is iodised salt, silicon dioxide (E551) to keep it free-flowing, and TBHQ (E319) to stop the frying oil going rancid. There is no added sugar and no hydrogenated fat in the list.

What to know about Beyond Snack Original Style Kerala Banana Chips
Banana slices with a quarter of the weight in oil
Beyond Snack Original Style Kerala Banana Chips are thin fried slices of raw banana (72%) cooked in refined palmolein (25%) and dusted with a 3% seasoning of iodised salt, an anticaking agent and an antioxidant.

A 20 g serve gives about 102 kcal, 1 g protein, 1.2 g fibre, 5 g fat and 62 mg sodium. Per 100 g the chips have 510 kcal and 11.6 g saturated fat, so the cost sits in the oil. Added sugar is 0 g, and the 3.1 g of total sugar comes from the banana itself.
