What to know about Dark Chocolate Kaju Katli GO DESi

Cashew sweet wrapped in sugar and saturated fat

Dark Chocolate Kaju Katli GO DESi is a pack of four 12 g bite-sized sweets, 48 g in all. They are built from cashew nuts (33%), sugar, cocoa solids and cocoa butter (20.2%), hydrogenated sesame oil and cocoa powder, held with a pectin stabiliser and two preservatives. It is bought as a small, shareable version of the classic cashew sweet with a chocolate ganache layer.

One mini gives about 51 kcal, 1.5 g protein and 4 g added sugar. The whole pack is about 203 kcal, 15.8 g added sugar and 5 g saturated fat. Per 100 g the sweet has 12.4 g protein, mostly from the cashew, but only 1.1 g fibre and 10.46 g saturated fat.

The name promises dark chocolate and kaju katli. Cashew does lead the list and cocoa is a real 20.2%, but sugar comes second and a hydrogenated oil with no partly or fully qualifier sits in the fat. CleanPlate scores it EB4.

Why Dark Chocolate Kaju Katli GO DESi scores EB4

Nutrition is an E: 33 g added sugar and 10.46 g saturated fat per 100 g with only 1.1 g fibre. Ingredients are a B because cashew leads, and risk is a 4 on sugar and saturated fat.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 12.4 g per 100 g, mostly from cashew, which is the largest protein source in the list. Fibre is only 1.1 g per 100 g, so the grade gets little help from either.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, and the sugar and saturated fat weigh against it. That leaves nutrition at the bottom of the scale.

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

Cashew nuts lead at 33%, followed by sugar and cocoa solids with cocoa butter at 20.2%. A short, mostly recognisable list is why this axis holds up well.

Hydrogenated oil (sesame) has no partly or fully qualifier, so it is scored as a partially hydrogenated oil, which costs ingredient points. Trans fat is declared as 0 g, but it is not accepted until the maker confirms the type.

The pectin stabiliser (440) costs a small point, and the preservatives potassium sorbate (202) and sodium benzoate (211) are listed. Artificial milk and vanilla-caramel flavouring substances are declared as well.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sugar is the biggest driver: 33 g of added sugar per 100 g, about 4 g in one mini and 15.8 g in the pack. Saturated fat follows at 10.46 g per 100 g, more than twice the 5 g high line.

Energy is 424 kcal per 100 g. Sodium is low at 37 mg per 100 g and trans fat is declared as 0 g, so neither moves the grade much.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Dark Chocolate Kaju Katli GO DESi live up to its claims?

What's in Dark Chocolate Kaju Katli GO DESi?

Cashew, sugar and cocoa lead the list. The hydrogenated oil with no stated type and the sugar are what to watch.

The ingredient list, read for you

Cashew nuts lead at 33%, then sugar, then cocoa solids and cocoa butter at 20.2%, so the sweet is mainly nut, sugar and chocolate. Hydrogenated sesame oil and cocoa powder follow, with pectin (440) as stabiliser and potassium sorbate (202) and sodium benzoate (211) as preservatives. Cream, milk and vanilla-caramel taste comes from flavouring substances.
