What to know about Iyer's Ring Fryums
Three plain ingredients, but nearly all refined starch
Iyer's Ring Fryums are a ring-shaped wheat snack built from three ingredients: refined wheat flour, iodised salt and edible oil. The brand dates itself to 1977, and the pack is sold as a tea-time or party snack. Buyers get a familiar, simple product at a low price, with a buy-one-get-one offer on the front.
Per 100 g the panel shows 365 kcal, 79 g carbohydrate, 9 g protein, 0.78 g fat and 40 mg sodium, with no sugar and no saturated fat. The pack is 400 g sold as two 200 g bags, at an MRP of Rs 64. The panel also prints a 100 g serve, so the per-serve column is identical to the per-100 g one.
The ingredient list is short and honest, with no additives and no hollow promise on the pack. The name is less settled: the back of the pack reads Fryme Papad while the retailer page says Ring Fryums. The nutrition is mostly refined starch with little else. CleanPlate scores it EB2.
Why Iyer's Ring Fryums scores EB2
Nutrition is an E because the snack is mostly refined starch with 9 g protein per 100 g and no fibre or vitamins declared. Ingredients are a B on a short, additive-free list, and risk is a 2, set by 365 kcal per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 9 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 365 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 9 g per 100 g and comes almost entirely from refined wheat flour, a lower-quality source, so it earns only half credit. No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade.
Carbohydrate is 79 g per 100 g of the 365 kcal, with 0 g sugar. The grade rests on a snack that is mostly starch.
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 three items: refined wheat flour, iodised salt and edible oil. No additive of concern is listed, no hydrogenated fat is named, and the label has no hollow promise, so the grade holds up well.
Percentages are not declared and the edible oil is not named, 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.
Low risk
- Total sugar

- Sodium

- Saturated fat
- 0 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g per 100 g, and sodium is only 40 mg. None of these moves the risk number.
Energy is what sets it: 365 kcal per 100 g puts the risk grade at a 2.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Iyer's Ring Fryums live up to its claims?
The pack makes few checkable promises. The listing's handpicked-ingredients and light-crunch lines are framed, since the list is three items and 365 kcal per 100 g, and the name differs between pack and retailer page.
- Product nameBe careful
“Fryme Papad / Ring Fryums”
The retailer page shows Ring Fryums, the pack shows Fryme Papad on the back. Both describe the same three-ingredient wheat snack.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Made from carefully handpicked ingredients”
The list is only refined wheat flour, iodised salt and edible oil, with no percentages declared. Nothing on the pack shows how the ingredients were picked.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Light, deliciously crunchy”
Light describes texture. The panel shows 365 kcal per 100 g, so it is not low in energy.
What's in Iyer's Ring Fryums?
Refined wheat flour leads, then iodised salt and edible oil. There are no additives, but no percentages are declared and the oil is not named.
The ingredient list, read for you
Refined wheat flour leads the list, so the snack is mostly refined starch. Iodised salt gives flavour and iodine, and edible oil is the only fat. The oil is not named and no percentages are declared, so the split between them is unknown.
