What to know about Karachi Bakery Cashew Butterscotch Butter Biscuits
A buttery cashew biscuit at 14.5 g saturated fat
A butter biscuit built on refined wheat flour (maida), refined sugar and milk solids (unsalted butter), with cashew nuts at 9%, butterscotch nuts and a vanilla flavour. It is sold as a premium tea-time biscuit from a bakery brand that dates back to 1953, in a 300 g pack of individually packed biscuits.
A serve is three pieces, about 60 g, and the pack holds five. That serve gives 330 kcal, 3.67 g protein, 2.31 g fibre and 4.68 g added sugar. Per 100 g the biscuit has 550 kcal and 33 g fat, of which 14.5 g is saturated. Sodium is low at 40 mg per 100 g.
The name stresses butter and cashew. Cashew is declared at 9%, which is real but modest, while butter is listed inside milk solids with no percentage given. Butterscotch comes from butterscotch nuts and a flavour that includes nature-identical and artificial substances. CleanPlate scores it DB4.
Why Karachi Bakery Cashew Butterscotch Butter Biscuits scores DB4
Nutrition is a D on a refined flour base with 6.12 g protein per 100 g. Ingredients are a B, held back by flavouring and no butter percentage. Risk is a 4 on 14.5 g saturated fat per 100 g.

- Vitamins and minerals
- Iron, Calcium
- Energy
- 550 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 6.12 g per 100 g and fibre is 3.85 g. Most of the protein comes from refined wheat flour, so it earns only half credit. A 60 g serve gives 3.67 g protein and 2.31 g fibre.
Iron is 1.98 mg and calcium just 1 mg per 100 g, so minerals add almost nothing 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 mostly recognisable: refined flour, sugar, butter and cashew. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat is accepted as it stands.
The nature-identical and artificial flavouring costs ingredient points. Butter is stressed in the name but has no percentage, which costs a label point.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- 14.5 g
- Trans fat
- 0.2 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the main driver: 14.5 g per 100 g, almost three times the 5 g high line. One 60 g serve has 8.7 g.
Energy adds to it at 550 kcal per 100 g, 330 per serve. Added sugar of 7.8 g, sodium of 40 mg and trans fat of 0.2 g per 100 g play small parts.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
