01 Nutrition densityA to E

Very low nutrient density

Protein: 2.7 g
Fibre: 1.5 g
Vitamins and minerals: None declared
Energy: 144 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 2.69 g per 100 g, nearly all from the potato, and fibre is 1.48 g. Neither is high enough to earn credit, and no vitamins or minerals are declared.

What is left is mostly starch and fat for energy: 143.69 kcal per 100 g. That leaves the nutrition grade at the bottom, even though the food itself is simple.

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

Only two ingredients are listed: potatoes at 95% and refined palmolein. No additive, flavouring or colour appears, and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared 0 g trans fat is accepted.

Palmolein is a refined palm oil. It sits in the lowest additive tier and costs no ingredient points. The pack makes no promise that the list contradicts, so there is no label-integrity loss.

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

Risk is a 1. Saturated fat is the largest part at 2.49 g per 100 g, about half the 5 g high line, and sodium adds a smaller part at 64 mg per 100 g.

Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither adds anything. Energy at 143.69 kcal per 100 g does not push the number up. One serve carries 1.99 g saturated fat and 51 mg sodium.

What's in HyFun Crinkle French Fries?

Potatoes at 95% and refined palmolein are the whole list. Palmolein is the only ingredient worth a note, and it is the source of the saturated fat.

How we rate additives →

2 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern.

The ingredient list, read for you

Potatoes lead at 95%, and refined palmolein, a palm oil, makes up the rest. The oil is what gives the fries their fat and crisp finish. Nothing else is listed: no flavouring, colour, preservative or added salt.

The label numbers, read for you

Saturated fat is the number that matters: 2.49 g per 100 g, or 1.99 g in an 80 g serve, from the palmolein. Sodium is low at 64 mg per 100 g (51 mg per serve), and sugar is 0.31 g with none added.

Protein is small at 2.69 g per 100 g (2.15 g per serve) and fibre is 1.48 g. Energy is 143.69 kcal per 100 g, about 115 kcal per serve. No vitamins or minerals are declared.

What the additives do

Palmolein (low concern): cheap, heat-stable frying fat. A cheap, stable frying oil that is about half saturated fat. Very common in Indian packaged snacks. More on Palmolein.

Recipes with HyFun Crinkle French Fries

Air fry them, or add them to a plate with dal, paneer or a salad. Season with black pepper, chilli or lemon rather than a salty masala blend.

Air-fried crinkle fries

Cook straight from frozen at 200°C for 12 to 15 minutes, as the pack says, with no extra oil beyond the 5.41 g fat per 100 g in the fries.

Fries with dal and a salad

Serve one 80 g portion beside dal or paneer and a salad, since the fries bring only 2.15 g protein per serve.

Masala fries

Toss hot fries with black pepper, chilli powder or lemon, since chaat masala usually adds salt on top of the 51 mg per serve the fries start with.
