Why Ramji Sabudana Potato Papad scores EB4
Nutrition is an E because the papad is almost all starch with 0.7 g protein per 100 g. Ingredients are a B on a short, plain list. Risk is a 4 because sodium is 1,284 mg per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0.7 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 341 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Energy is 341 kcal per 100 g, nearly all from 84 g of carbohydrate. Protein is 0.7 g per 100 g, and the largest contributor is the potato flakes, so the protein earns no credit.
No vitamins, minerals or fibre add to the grade, so nutrition sits at the bottom of the scale. This is typical of a starch-only crisp rather than a fault of the recipe.
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 six items long: sabudana, potato flakes, sabudana starch, rock salt, sodium bicarbonate and refined vegetable oil. There are no colours, sweeteners, flavour enhancers or hydrogenated fats.
Sodium bicarbonate (INS 500 ii) is the only additive and it costs no ingredient points. No label promise is hollow, so nothing is lost for integrity. Percentages are not declared, which is the one gap in an otherwise clean list.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0.5 g
- Sodium
- 1284 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.1 g
- Trans fat
- 0.01 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the whole story: 1,284 mg per 100 g, 321 mg in a 25 g serve, and it accounts for almost all of the risk number, which lands on a 4.
Energy adds a little. Sugar is 0.5 g, saturated fat 0.1 g and trans fat 0.01 g per 100 g, so they play almost no part. Frying will add some oil, which is not in the panel.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High sodium (1284mg per 100g)
Green flags
Nothing stands out in its favour.
Does Ramji Sabudana Potato Papad live up to its claims?
The potato, rock salt, no-preservatives and fasting claims hold on the list. The rock salt line is true but still means high sodium, and the potato is not the main ingredient.
- Product namePartly true
“Potato Sabudana Papad”
Both are real and listed, but sabudana leads and potato flakes come second. No percentage is declared for either.
- On the packHolds
“Suitable for fast”
The list is tapioca, potato, rock salt, sodium bicarbonate and refined vegetable oil, with no grain flour.
- On the packBe careful
“Made with rock salt”
Rock salt is in the list, but it is still salt: the papad has 1,284 mg sodium per 100 g, 321 mg per serve.
- Retail listingHolds
“No preservatives”
No preservative is listed. The only additive is sodium bicarbonate (INS 500 ii).
What's in Ramji Sabudana Potato Papad?
Sabudana, potato flakes and sabudana starch lead a six-item list. The salt is what to watch; the sodium bicarbonate costs no ingredient points.
6 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research. 1 more entry looks like an additive we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Sabudana (tapioca), potato flakes and sabudana starch come first, so the papad is a starch dough. Rock salt seasons it, sodium bicarbonate helps it puff and crisp when fried, and refined vegetable oil is the last item. No percentages are declared.
Not in our additive research yet: Food Grade Sodium Bicarbonate INS 500 (ii).
Ingredients to watch
- SodiumConcern
1,284 mg per 100 g, about 3.2 g of salt. One 25 g serve has 321 mg, before any salt you add at the table.
- Starch-only baseWorth watching
Tapioca, potato flakes and sabudana starch give 84 g carbohydrate and 0.7 g protein per 100 g, so there is little to fill you up.
- Refined vegetable oilWorth watching
The oil type is not named. The panel is for the dry papad, and frying adds more oil.
- Sodium bicarbonate (INS 500 ii)Fine
The only additive, and it costs no ingredient points.
- Sugar and saturated fatFine
0.5 g sugar and 0.1 g saturated fat per 100 g, with no hydrogenated fat listed.
What it doesn’t have
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- No ingredient percentages are given, so the share of potato is unknown.
What to know about Ramji Sabudana Potato Papad
A plain starch papad with a salty edge
Ramji Sabudana Potato Papad is a dry, ready-to-fry papad in a 150 g pack. It is built from sabudana (tapioca), potato flakes and sabudana starch, seasoned with rock salt, with sodium bicarbonate and refined vegetable oil to finish. It is bought for upwas (fasting) days and as a crisp side for a meal. The label declares no ingredient percentages.
The panel is for the dry papad, per 25 g serve, and the pack holds six serves. One serve gives 85 kcal, 0.18 g protein, 21 g carbohydrate and 321 mg sodium. Per 100 g that is 341 kcal, 0.7 g protein and 1,284 mg sodium, about 3.2 g of salt. Sugar and saturated fat are close to nil. Frying adds oil on top of these numbers.
The name and the front deliver what they say: sabudana and potato lead the list, rock salt is in it, and there are no added colours or sweeteners. What the pack does not say is how much salt rock salt still means. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
Who should eat Ramji Sabudana Potato Papad?
An occasional side for most adults and children. Anyone watching blood pressure should go rarely, since one serve has 321 mg sodium.
- Most adultsOccasionally
One 25 g serve has 321 mg sodium and little else of nutritional value.
- ChildrenOccasionally
Clean ingredients, but 321 mg sodium per serve and almost no protein.
- High blood pressureRarely
Sodium is 1,284 mg per 100 g, and rock salt is still sodium.
- Weight managementOccasionally
85 kcal per dry serve is light, but frying adds oil and it is almost all starch.
Recipes with Ramji Sabudana Potato Papad
Fry on low flame for 8 to 12 seconds as directed, then serve with curd or vegetables to add what the papad lacks.
Quick-fried papad
Fry on low flame for 8 to 12 seconds as the pack says, then drain on paper, since frying adds oil to a dry papad with 0.19 g fat per 100 g.
Upwas plate
Serve one or two papads with plain curd and cucumber, so the 0.7 g protein per 100 g papad is backed by something more filling.
Papad with a salt-free sabzi
Pair with a vegetable dish cooked with little added salt, because the papad already brings 321 mg sodium per serve.
