Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 6.8 g
- Fibre
- 6.9 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 519 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 6.84 g per 100 g and fibre 6.88 g, and the banana is the largest source of the protein. A 20 g serve has about 1.4 g of each, so the grade sits in the middle.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing adds to it beyond protein and fibre.
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.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and led by raw banana at 72%, followed by non-hydrogenated palmolein and a seasoning. That keeps the grade at a B.
TBHQ (319), silicon dioxide (551) and a flavour enhancer pair (627 and 631, counted once) each cost ingredient points. Citric acid (330) costs none. The seasoning share is not declared on the back of the pack, which is a small gap.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 3.3 g
- Sodium
- 139.7 mg
- Saturated fat
- 12.7 g
- Trans fat
- 0.14 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the main driver: 12.71 g per 100 g, over twice the 5 g high line, from the palmolein. A 20 g serve has about 2.5 g.
Energy adds next, at 519 kcal per 100 g, and sodium is a small part at 140 mg per 100 g. Added sugar is 3.3 g per 100 g and trans fat is declared at 0.14 g, so both play little part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Beyond Snack Peri Peri Nendran Banana Chips live up to its claims?
The banana and non-hydrogenated palmolein claims hold, and the peri peri is a seasoning flavour. Banana share is 72% on the pack, while the retailer page shows a slightly different figure.
- On the packHolds
“Kerala Banana Chips, Nendran bananas”
Raw banana leads the list at 72%, and the pack names Nendran as the variety used.
- On the packPartly true
“Peri Peri Flavour”
The coating is a seasoning of salt, chili, garlic, onion, tamarind and pepper plus flavour enhancers, sold honestly as a flavour, not as a named peri peri ingredient.
- On the packHolds
“Palmolein, non hydrogenated”
No hydrogenated fat is listed, and trans fat is declared at a small 0.14 g per 100 g. The oil still gives 12.71 g saturated fat per 100 g.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Raw Banana 72%”
The retailer page shows 71% banana, 24% oil and 5% seasoning, while the pack shows 72% banana and no oil or seasoning share, so the percentages are approximate.
What's in Beyond Snack Peri Peri Nendran Banana Chips?
Raw banana leads, then palmolein, then a seasoning of salt, spices, sugar and additives. The frying fat and the three penalised additives are what to watch.
12 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 2 low concern. 3 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Raw banana comes first, then refined palmolein oil, then the seasoning. The seasoning is iodised salt, chili, garlic, onion, tamarind and pepper for heat and tang, with sugar, rice powder, hydrolysed vegetable protein and dehydrated herbs for body and savoury taste. Citric acid adjusts acidity, silicon dioxide stops clumping, flavour enhancers 627 and 631 deepen the savoury note, and TBHQ protects the oil from going stale.
The label numbers, read for you
Saturated fat decides the score: 12.71 g per 100 g, about 2.5 g in a 20 g serve. Total fat is 27.49 g per 100 g and energy is 519 kcal, or about 104 kcal per serve.
Fibre (6.88 g) and protein (6.84 g) per 100 g are decent for a fried snack, about 1.4 g each per serve. Sodium is low at 140 mg per 100 g, and added sugar is 3.3 g. No vitamins or minerals are declared.
What the additives do
Palmolein (low concern): cheap, heat-stable frying fat. A cheap, stable frying oil that is about half saturated fat. Very common in Indian packaged snacks. More on Palmolein.
TBHQ (low concern): stops oils going rancid. A synthetic antioxidant that stops oils from going rancid. Permitted within limits, but common in heavily processed, oil-rich foods. More on TBHQ.
Not in our additive research yet: Acidity regulator (E330); Anticaking agent (E551); Flavour Enhancers (E627, E631).
Ingredients to watch
- Silicon dioxide (E551)Worth watching
Anticaking agent that keeps the seasoning powder free-flowing so it coats the chips evenly. It costs ingredient points.
- Flavour enhancers (E627, E631)Worth watching
Boost the savoury taste of the seasoning so the chips taste stronger with less spice. It costs ingredient points.
- TBHQ (E319)Fine
Antioxidant that slows the frying oil going rancid so the chips stay fresh on the shelf. It costs ingredient points.
- PalmoleinFine
Refined palm oil used to fry the banana slices to a crisp.
What it doesn’t have
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- The share of seasoning is not printed on the back of the pack.
