Published · Updated
Farmley Makha Shaka Cheese Wavez is a cheese-seasoned snack chip made mostly from makhana flour, jowar and grain meals, with olive oil.

What to know about Farmley Makha Shaka Cheese Wavez Makhana Chips
Makhana chips with a short list and a salty seasoning
A 70 g pack of cheese-flavoured chips built on makhana flour, jowar flour, rice meal and corn meal, with olive oil and a seasoning of salt, sugar powder, chilli, coriander, cheese powder and yeast extract. It is bought by people who want a crunchy savoury snack that feels lighter than a standard potato chip. The pack does not declare any ingredient percentages.
Per 100 g you get 415 kcal, 10.2 g protein, 6.1 g fibre, 11.2 g fat (2.3 g saturated) and 0.8 g added sugar. The cost is salt: 693 mg sodium per 100 g. The suggested serve is 25 g, which gives about 104 kcal, 2.6 g protein and 173 mg sodium.
The front says made with makhana flour and no palm oil, and the list backs both: makhana flour leads and olive oil is the only oil named. The name stresses cheese, but the cheese powder has no declared percentage and the pack also lists cheese flavouring. CleanPlate scores it CA3.
Why Farmley Makha Shaka Cheese Wavez Makhana Chips scores CA3
Nutrition is a C on 10.2 g protein and 6.1 g fibre per 100 g, with no vitamins declared. Ingredients are an A on a short list, and risk is a 3, driven mainly by 693 mg sodium per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 10.2 g
- Fibre
- 6.1 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 415 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 10.2 g per 100 g and fibre is 6.1 g, which is 2.6 g protein and 1.5 g fibre in a 25 g serve. Most of the protein comes from the makhana flour, with grains adding the rest.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone, and it stays at the middle level.
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 recognisable: makhana flour, jowar flour, rice meal, corn meal and olive oil, then a seasoning. No hydrogenated fat, no dye and no sweetener are listed.
Silicon dioxide (551) and the flavour enhancers (627 and 631) cost ingredient points. Citric acid (330) costs none. Cheese is stressed in the name but has no declared percentage, which costs a small label point.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 0.8 g
- Sodium
- 693 mg
- Saturated fat
- 2.3 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Sodium is the largest part of the risk number: 693 mg per 100 g, or about 173 mg in a 25 g serve. Energy at 415 kcal per 100 g comes second.
Saturated fat is 2.3 g per 100 g, under the 5 g high line, and added sugar is 0.8 g, so neither adds much. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Farmley Makha Shaka Cheese Wavez Makhana Chips live up to its claims?
The makhana flour and olive oil claims hold. The cheese promise holds only in part, since cheese powder is listed with no percentage, and the baked or roasted claim is not something the label can confirm.
- On the packHolds
“Made with Makhana Flour”
Makhana flour is the first ingredient, though its percentage is not declared. It is the main source of the protein.
- On the packHolds
“No Palm Oil, Just Olive Oil”
Olive oil is the only oil in the list and palm oil is not named. Fat is 11.2 g per 100 g, with 2.3 g saturated.
- Product namePartly true
“Cheezy Wavez”
Cheese powder is listed, but with no percentage, and the back also declares nature-identical cheese flavouring. The cheese taste is not all from cheese.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Baked Not Fried”
The label does not describe how the chips are cooked. The pack front says Stay Roasted, while the chips still carry 11.2 g fat per 100 g.

Citric acid (330) sets the tang, flavour enhancers 627 and 631 deepen the savoury flavour, and silicon dioxide (551) keeps the powder free-flowing. No percentages are declared for any ingredient.
