What to know about Girnar Low Sugar Masala Chai Instant Tea Premix

A light 36 kcal cup of masala chai

An instant masala chai premix made of a dairy whitener (partly skimmed milk powder and sugar), tea extract at 10% and a masala blend at 2.2% of cloves, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg. It is sold to people who want a cup of spiced milk tea without boiling anything.

You empty one 8 g sachet into a cup and add 100 ml of hot water. The cup has 36 kcal, 1.56 g protein, 1.65 g total sugar of which 1.26 g is added, 1.04 g saturated fat and 19 mg sodium. A box holds 10 sachets, 80 g in all.

The name promises masala chai and a lower sugar cup. The spices are real but a small share, and the added sugar is low per cup. The label lists no additives and no colour. CleanPlate scores it EB1.

Why Girnar Low Sugar Masala Chai Instant Tea Premix scores EB1

Nutrition is an E because a cup gives 1.56 g protein and no fibre or declared vitamins. Ingredients are a B with no additives, and risk is a 1 on 1.04 g saturated fat and 1.26 g added sugar.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 1.56 g per 100 ml cup, and there is no fibre. No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing adds to the grade.

The cup is light at 36 kcal, but a light drink with little in it still earns no nutrition credit.

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

The list is short and plain: a dairy whitener of milk powder and sugar, tea extract at 10%, and a masala blend of six named spices at 2.2%. No additive of concern is listed, and there is no hydrogenated fat, dye or sweetener.

Nothing on the pack is a hollow promise, so no label points are lost. The dairy whitener leads the list and its share is not given, which is the main thing the label leaves open.

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

03 Load risk: why 1

Saturated fat is the largest part of the risk number at 1.04 g per cup, from the milk powder. Added sugar is 1.26 g per cup and sodium is 19 mg, both small.

Trans fat is 0.02 g and energy adds nothing at 36 kcal, so the risk grade is the lowest, a 1.

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