Why Granamma Madras Mixture Namkeen scores [L]CB4
Nutrition is a C on 13.3 g protein and 6.1 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a B but lose points for the No Maida claim, and risk is a 4 because of 660 mg sodium and 560 kcal per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 13.3 g
- Fibre
- 6.1 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 560 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 13.3 g per 100 g and fibre is 6.1 g, mostly from gram flour, peanuts and cashews. That earns a middle grade rather than a high one, because the oil carries the energy and the protein is not enough to lift it further.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade.
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 made of recognisable foods: besan, rice flour, corn flour, nuts, curry leaves and spices. No additives are listed, so none cost ingredient points.
The pack says No Maida, but wheat flour is listed with no whole-grain wording. That costs ingredient points and triggers the [L] flag. Percentages are also not declared, 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.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 1.5 g
- Sodium
- 660 mg
- Saturated fat
- 4.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the largest part of the risk number at 660 mg per 100 g, closely followed by energy at 560 kcal per 100 g. Saturated fat is 4.8 g per 100 g, just under the 5 g high line.
Added sugar is 1.5 g per 100 g and plays almost no part. 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 Granamma Madras Mixture Namkeen live up to its claims?
No Palm Oil, no preservatives and no artificial colours hold up. No Maida does not: wheat flour is in the list, so the claim is hollow and sets the [L].
- On the packMisleading
“No Maida”
Wheat flour is listed last in the ingredients, with no whole-grain wording, so it is read as refined wheat flour (maida).
- On the packHolds
“No Palm Oil”
The fat is listed as refined vegetable oil, and the pack key names sunflower oil and rice bran oil. No palm oil is listed.
- On the packHolds
“No added preservatives”
No preservative is in the ingredient list.

“No artificial colours”
No colour is listed. The colour comes from chilli powder and the other ingredients.

“Refined Vegetable Oil with batch code”

13 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.
The ingredient list, read for you
Refined vegetable oil is the first ingredient, so oil is the largest part of the mix by weight. Gram flour (besan), rice flour and corn flour form the crisp base, with peanut and cashew nut for crunch and protein. Curry leaves, chilli powder and asafoetida give the Madras flavour, and iodised salt and a little sugar season it.
Corn starch and wheat flour sit at the end of the list. No percentages are declared for any ingredient, so the exact share of nuts or besan is not known.
The label numbers, read for you
Per 100 g the panel shows 560 kcal, 35.7 g fat, 13.3 g protein, 6.1 g fibre and 660 mg sodium. In a 30 g serve that is 168 kcal, 10.7 g fat, 4 g protein, 1.8 g fibre and 198 mg sodium, so the energy and the salt are what decide the score.
Sugar is low at 1.5 g per 100 g, all of it added, or 0.5 g per serve. Saturated fat is 4.8 g per 100 g, but it rises to 7.9 g in other oil variants. No vitamins or minerals are declared.

- No percentages are given for the besan, nuts or oil.
