What to know about Orange Soan Papdi By Haldiram's Nagpur

A flaky orange sweet with no orange in it

A 250 g pack of flaky soan papdi built from sugar, refined palmolein oil, wheat flour and chickpea flour, with almond and pistachio, coloured with Sunset Yellow (E110) and flavoured with nature-identical orange flavouring. It is bought as a festive or gifting sweet and as a sweet-tooth treat. The label declares no percentages.

Per 100 g it has 504 kcal, 46.22 g sugar, 23.1 g fat (8.53 g saturated) and 7.46 g protein. The pack prints no serve, so for a typical 30 g piece that is about 151 kcal, 13.9 g sugar and 2.6 g saturated fat. Fibre is 0.39 g per 100 g and sodium is a low 80 mg.

The name promises orange, and the ingredient list has no orange in it. The taste and colour come from flavouring and a synthetic dye, and that is what sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]EC4.

Does Orange Soan Papdi By Haldiram's Nagpur live up to its claims?

The orange in the name is not in the ingredient list, so that claim misleads. The pack does state its synthetic colour openly, and the front calls it orange flavoured.

  • Product name

    “Orange”

    Misleading

    No orange is in the ingredient list. The orange taste comes from nature-identical flavouring, and the colour from Sunset Yellow (E110).

  • On the pack

    “Orange Flavoured Soan Papdi”

    Partly true

    This wording is honest that it is flavoured, and the back declares nature-identical orange flavouring. It still contains no orange itself.

  • On the pack

    “Contains permitted synthetic food colour”

    Holds

    Sunset Yellow (E110) is declared on the back and is in the ingredient list.

Why Orange Soan Papdi By Haldiram's Nagpur scores [L]EC4

Nutrition is an E: 7.46 g protein and 0.39 g fibre per 100 g do not offset the sugar and fat. Ingredients are a C because of a synthetic dye and the missing orange, and risk is a 4 on 46.22 g sugar.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 7.46 g per 100 g and fibre only 0.39 g. The largest protein contributor is wheat flour, which counts for little, so the protein earns almost no credit.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing adds to the grade. Energy is 504 kcal per 100 g, mostly from sugar and palmolein oil.

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 C

Sugar leads the list, then refined palmolein oil and two flours. Almond and pistachio come after, with no percentages declared, which costs a small label point.

The synthetic colour Sunset Yellow (E110) and the nature-identical orange flavouring each cost ingredient points.

The name says orange, but no orange is listed, which sets the [L] flag and costs further ingredient points.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sugar is the biggest driver at 46.22 g per 100 g, with no added-sugar line, so all of it is counted as free sugar. Saturated fat of 8.53 g per 100 g is above the 5 g high line.

Energy adds to the risk. Sodium is 80 mg per 100 g and trans fat is declared as 0 g, so neither plays much part.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.

What's in Orange Soan Papdi By Haldiram's Nagpur?

Sugar, palmolein oil and two flours lead the list, with almond and pistachio after. The sugar and the dye are what to watch.

The ingredient list, read for you

Sugar comes first, then refined palmolein oil, wheat flour and chickpea flour, so the sweet is mostly sugar and fat held together by flour. Almond and pistachio follow with no percentages, so the amount is likely small. Sunset Yellow gives the orange colour and the flavouring gives the orange taste.

The pack says it contains almond, pistachio and gluten, and may contain other tree nuts, milk, peanut and sesame.
