Our take

CleanPlate review

A crisp wheat khakhra with 22 g of fat

Jabsons Roasted Wheat Khakhra Jeera is wheat flour (75%), refined cottonseed oil, iodised salt, cumin (1.2%) and a little sugar.

CleanPlate scores it CB4. The C for nutrition is middling: 7 g fibre per 100 g; its 10 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by wheat flour, refined cottonseed oil and cumin), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (950 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (7 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Roasted Wheat Khakhra Jeera”

    Holds

    Wheat flour is 75% and cumin 1.2%, both declared.

  • Retail listing

    “Roasted whole wheat crispbread”

    Be careful

    The list says "wheat flour", not whole wheat, so whole grain is not confirmed.
