A suggested 14 g serve gives about 69 kcal, 1.1 g protein, 1.6 g fibre and 66 mg sodium. Per 100 g the panel shows 493.7 kcal, 7.9 g protein, 11.6 g fibre, 21.2 g fat of which 5.0 g saturated, 1.3 g added sugar and 473 mg sodium. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.
The name and front are mostly straight: makhana is the first ingredient, olive oil is second, and no hydrogenated fat is listed. The pack's framing as guilt free snacking and the retailer's mention of calcium go further than the panel supports. CleanPlate scores it CA4.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Fibre is 11.6 g per 100 g, about 1.6 g in a 14 g serve, and that carries the grade. Protein is 7.9 g per 100 g, mostly from the makhana itself, which is a modest amount and held the grade back.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to it.
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.

03 Load risk: why 4
Energy and sodium move the number most: 493.7 kcal and 473 mg sodium per 100 g. Saturated fat is 5.0 g per 100 g, right at the 5 g high line, from the olive oil and milk powder.
Added sugar is only 1.3 g per 100 g and trans fat is 0 g, so they play almost no part. One 14 g serve has about 69 kcal, 0.7 g saturated fat and 66 mg sodium.

Does Farmley Cream & Onion Roasted Flavoured Makhana Roasted In Olive Oil live up to its claims?
Olive oil and trans fat free hold, and the cream and onion flavour is partly real. Guilt free snacking and the retailer's calcium claim are not backed by the panel.

“Cream & Onion”
Onion powder, parsley and milk powder are in the list, but the pack also says it contains natural and nature identical flavouring substances. No percentages are declared.
- On the packHolds
“Roasted in olive oil”
Olive oil is the second ingredient. Total fat is still 21.2 g per 100 g, so roasting does not make it low in fat.
- On the packHolds
“Trans fat free”
Trans fat is declared as 0 g per 100 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed.
- On the packBe careful
“Guilt free snacking”
The snack has 493.7 kcal and 5.0 g saturated fat per 100 g. A 14 g serve is light at about 69 kcal, but portions can grow.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Rich in protein & calcium”
The retailer page shows rich in protein and calcium, the pack shows 7.9 g protein per 100 g and no calcium declared.
What's in Farmley Cream & Onion Roasted Flavoured Makhana Roasted In Olive Oil?
Makhana and olive oil lead a short list. Watch the energy, the sodium, and the flavour enhancers 627 and 631 near the end.
The ingredient list, read for you
Makhana (fox nut) comes first, then olive oil, so the base is a roasted whole seed with oil. The cream and onion taste comes from onion powder, parsley, milk powder, sugar, iodised salt and corn starch.
Citric acid adjusts the acidity, 551 keeps the seasoning free-flowing, and 627 with 631 boost the savoury taste. The pack declares no percentages for any ingredient.
Ingredients to watch
- EnergyConcern
493.7 kcal per 100 g, about 69 kcal in a 14 g serve. It is the largest single driver of the risk number.

- Saturated fatWorth watching
5.0 g per 100 g, at the high line, from olive oil and milk powder. A serve has 0.7 g.
- Flavour enhancers and anti-caking agentWorth watching
627, 631 and 551 are listed, and they cost ingredient points.
- Fibre and no trans fatFine
11.6 g fibre per 100 g, and trans fat is 0 g with no hydrogenated fat in the list.
What it doesn’t have
- No calcium or other vitamins and minerals are declared on the panel.
