Why Mini Maggi Khakhra scores EA4

Very low nutrient density

- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 545 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 11.5 g per 100 g, but that is only about 2.1 g per 100 kcal because the snack is so energy-dense at 545 kcal, so it earns no credit. The main protein source is whole wheat flour.
Fibre is not declared and no vitamins or minerals are listed, 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 A
The list is short and mostly whole: whole wheat flour first, then edible oil, salt and a range of ground spices. No additive is listed, no hydrogenated fat is present, and the declared trans fat of 0 g is accepted.
No label promise is found hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points. The pack gives no ingredient percentages, which makes it harder to see how much of the list is wheat and how much is oil.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Trans fat

03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the biggest driver: 12.2 g per 100 g, more than twice the 5 g high line. Sodium at 658 mg per 100 g and energy at 545 kcal per 100 g add to it.
Sugar plays almost no part: 2 g per 100 g, from the sugar listed at the end of the ingredients, with added sugar declared as 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags

Does Mini Maggi Khakhra live up to its claims?
Whole wheat leads the list and the Maggi taste comes from spices, but baked not fried hides 31.2 g fat per 100 g, and the retailer's fibre and 100% whole wheat lines are not backed by the pack.
- Product namePartly true
“Maggi flavour”
The taste comes from a spice blend of chilli, coriander, turmeric, pepper, cumin and others, plus salt and a little sugar. No flavouring is listed.
- On the packHolds
“Made with whole wheat”
Whole wheat flour is the first ingredient. No percentage is declared, and edible oil is the second ingredient.
- On the packBe careful
“Baked, not fried”
The method is not checked on the label, but the panel shows 31.2 g fat per 100 g, 12.2 g of it saturated, so baked does not mean low in fat.
- Retail listingBe careful
“100% whole wheat”
The retailer page shows 100% whole wheat, but the pack lists whole wheat flour alongside edible oil, salt, spices and sugar.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Packed with fiber”
The retailer page shows packed with fibre, but the pack panel does not declare any dietary fibre.

Whole wheat flour leads, followed by edible oil and iodized salt, so the base is wheat and fat with salt. The oil type is not named. Ten spices follow: red chilli, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, cumin, nutmeg, ginger, clove, fenugreek and green cardamom, which give the masala taste. Plain salt and sugar close the list, and no percentages are declared.
The label numbers, read for you
Fat decides the score: 31.2 g per 100 g, with 12.2 g saturated, and a 30 g typical serve gives about 3.7 g saturated fat. Sodium is 658 mg per 100 g, about 197 mg in 30 g. Energy is 545 kcal per 100 g, about 164 kcal per 30 g.
Protein is 11.5 g per 100 g, about 3.5 g in 30 g. Total sugar is 2 g with none declared as added, and trans fat is 0 g. Fibre is not declared and no vitamins or minerals are listed.
What it doesn’t have
- Dietary fibre is not declared on the panel, despite the wheat message.
- No ingredient percentages are given, so the share of oil and spices is unknown.
