What to know about Charliee Methi Khakhra
A whole wheat crisp with 23 g fat per 100 g
A 150 g pack of round khakhra, a thin, crisp Gujarati flatbread snack, made from whole wheat flour (79%), refined palmolein oil (17%), iodised salt (2%), fenugreek leaves (1%) and a seasoning of red chilli and turmeric (1%). It is sold as a ready-to-eat savoury for tea time or travel, and the front says it is vegan and free of onion, garlic, asafoetida and potato.
A 20 g serve, about one khakhra portion, gives 99 kcal, 2 g protein, 1.6 g fibre and 161 mg sodium. Per 100 g that is 494.7 kcal, 10 g protein, 7.9 g fibre, 23 g fat, 9.5 g saturated fat and 803.5 mg sodium. Added sugar is only 0.7 g per 100 g.
The pack gets the basics right: whole wheat leads the list, nothing is hydrogenated, and no trans fat is declared. What it plays down is the oil. Non fried does not mean low in fat, and the palmolein oil is where the saturated fat comes from. CleanPlate scores it CA4.
Why Charliee Methi Khakhra scores CA4
Nutrition is a C on 10 g protein and 7.9 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are an A with a plain five-item list. Risk is a 4 because of 9.5 g saturated fat and 803.5 mg sodium.
Adequate nutrient density

- Fibre

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 495 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 10 g per 100 g, about 8% of the calories, and almost all of it comes from the whole wheat flour. Fibre is 7.9 g per 100 g, about 1.6 g in a 20 g serve.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone. The energy density of 494.7 kcal per 100 g, most of it from flour and oil, holds it at a C.
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 five items long and led by whole wheat flour at 79%. There are no additives, no colours, no hydrogenated fat and no sweeteners, so nothing costs ingredient points.
Every percentage is declared, the claims on the front match the list, and no label promise is hollow. That is why the ingredient grade is an A.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0.7 g
- Sodium
- 803.5 mg
- Saturated fat
- 9.5 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat and sodium drive the risk number. Saturated fat is 9.5 g per 100 g, nearly twice the 5 g high line, and sodium is 803.5 mg per 100 g, about 2 g of salt.
Energy adds to it at 494.7 kcal per 100 g. Added sugar is 0.7 g and trans fat is 0 g, so they play almost no part. A 20 g serve has 1.9 g saturated fat and 161 mg sodium.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Charliee Methi Khakhra live up to its claims?
The whole wheat and no trans fat claims hold. Non fried and easy to digest are framed: the khakhra still carries 23 g fat per 100 g, and fenugreek is only 1% of it.
- On the packHolds
“WHOLE WHEAT”
Whole wheat flour is the first ingredient at 79%, and no refined flour is listed.
- Product namePartly true
“Fenugreek Wheat Crisps”
Fenugreek leaves are real but small, at 1% of the khakhra. The crisp is almost all wheat flour and oil.
- On the packBe careful
“NON FRIED”
The label lists 17% refined palmolein oil, and the khakhra has 23 g fat per 100 g, 9.5 g of it saturated. Not fried does not mean low fat.
- On the packHolds
“NO TRANS FAT”
Trans fat is declared as 0 g and no hydrogenated fat appears in the ingredient list.
- On the packBe careful
“EASY TO DIGEST”
The pack gives no figure to back this up. What the label does show is 7.9 g fibre per 100 g, and 23 g fat that slows digestion.
What's in Charliee Methi Khakhra?
Whole wheat flour, palmolein oil and salt make up almost all of it, with no additives. The oil and the salt are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Whole wheat flour (79%) is the base, so this is a wheat crisp rather than a refined-flour one. Refined palmolein oil (17%) makes the dough pliable and crisp, and iodised salt (2%) seasons it. Fenugreek leaves (1%) give the methi flavour, and a 1% seasoning of red chilli and turmeric finishes it.
