What to know about Charliee Cheese Khakhra
Whole wheat crisps with a heavy fat and salt load
Charliee Cheese Khakhra is a roasted wheat cracker snack sold in a 150 g pack. It is built from whole wheat flour (78%), refined palmolein oil (16%), a 4% seasoning of whey powder, maltodextrin, cheese, sugar, glucose solids, more palmolein oil, yeast extract and a natural spice colour, and iodised salt (2%). It is bought as a tea-time or travel snack.
A 30 g serve is 4 pieces, and the pack holds 5 of them. One serve gives 146 kcal, 2.6 g protein and 2.0 g fibre, with 6.2 g fat, 2.9 g saturated fat and 231 mg sodium. Per 100 g that is 486 kcal, 8.8 g protein, 6.8 g fibre, 9.7 g saturated fat and 769 mg sodium. Added sugar is low at 0.67 g per 100 g.
The name and the front promise cheese, and cheese is in the seasoning, but the pack gives no percentage for it and it sits behind whey powder and maltodextrin. The list has no additives, no hydrogenated fat and no dye, and trans fat is 0 g. CleanPlate scores it CA4.
Why Charliee Cheese Khakhra scores CA4
Nutrition is a C on modest protein and 6.8 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are an A with no additives, and risk is a 4 because of 9.7 g saturated fat and 769 mg sodium per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 8.8 g
- Fibre
- 6.8 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 486 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 8.8 g per 100 g and fibre is 6.8 g. In a 30 g serve that is 2.6 g protein and 2.0 g fibre. The largest protein source is the whole wheat flour, which is a plant protein of lower quality, so the protein earns only a half credit.
No vitamins or minerals are declared in the values used, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone.
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 A
The list is short and mostly whole wheat flour (78%), with palmolein oil, a small seasoning and salt. No additive of concern is listed, and no hydrogenated fat, so the declared 0 g trans fat is accepted.
The one cost is a label point: cheese is stressed in the name, but its percentage is not declared. The seasoning also leans on whey powder, maltodextrin, sugar, glucose solids and yeast extract, but these are small at 4% of the whole.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0.67 g
- Sodium
- 769 mg
- Saturated fat
- 9.7 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium and saturated fat drive the risk number almost equally. Sodium is 769 mg per 100 g, about 231 mg per serve. Saturated fat is 9.7 g per 100 g, about 2.9 g per serve, nearly twice the 5 g high line.
Energy adds to it at 486 kcal per 100 g, or 146 kcal per serve. Added sugar is 0.67 g per 100 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither plays a real part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
