Why Royal Kaju Katli scores EB4

Nutrition is an E because the sweet is energy-dense and sugary, with no fibre or vitamins declared. Ingredients are a B on a short list. Risk is a 4 on 48 g added sugar per 100 g.

Energy

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 8.2 g per 100 g, mostly from the cashew, and that is the only point in the sweet's favour. No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade.

Energy is high at 470 kcal per 100 g, with 48 g added sugar and 23.6 g fat in that weight. In one 30 g serve that is 141 kcal and 2.5 g protein.

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

Four ingredients, no added flavour, no colour beyond edible silver leaf and no fat other than the cashew's own. That short, plain list is why the grade holds up.

Potassium sorbate (202) and calcium propionate (282) are the two preservatives, and neither costs ingredient points. The one label gap is that sugar is listed first with no percentage.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

Sugar is by far the largest part of the risk number: 48 g added sugar per 100 g, or 14.4 g in a 30 g serve. Energy comes next at 470 kcal per 100 g.

Saturated fat is 4.0 g per 100 g and sodium is 5 mg, so both barely register. Trans fat is declared at 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed.

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

Does Royal Kaju Katli live up to its claims?

The cashew claim holds: 47.6% is declared. Sugar is listed ahead of it with no percentage, and the licence number on the retailer page differs from the pack.

  • Product name

    “Kaju Katli”

    Holds

    Cashew is declared at 47.6%, second on the list after sugar, so the sweet is genuinely cashew based.

  • On the pack

    “Made with Premium Cashows”

    Be careful

    The cashew share is real at 47.6%, but sugar is listed first. The label gives no way to check what premium means.

  • On the pack

    “Authentic Traditional Recipe”

    Be careful

    The base of sugar and cashew is traditional, but the list also has two preservatives and silver leaf.

  • Retail listing

    “FSSAI licence number”

    Be careful

    The retailer page shows one FSSAI licence number and the pack shows a different one, so the two do not match.

What's in Royal Kaju Katli?

Sugar leads, cashew follows at 47.6%, then silver leaf and two mild preservatives. None of the additives costs points; the sugar is what to watch.

How we rate additives →

4 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern, 1 no concern. 1 more entry looks like an additive we have not researched yet.

The ingredient list, read for you

Sugar comes first with no percentage, then cashew at 47.6%. Cashew gives the sweet its body and its protein. Silver leaf (E 174) is a decorative coating, and two preservatives, E 202 and E 282, protect the sweet from mould and spoilage.

The label numbers, read for you

The number that decides the score is sugar: 48 g added sugar per 100 g, which is 14.4 g in a 30 g serve. Energy is 470 kcal per 100 g, or 141 kcal per serve, and fat is 23.6 g per 100 g, mostly from the cashew.

Protein is 8.2 g per 100 g, about 2.5 g per serve. Saturated fat is 4.0 g and sodium is 5 mg per 100 g, both low. No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared.

What the additives do

Calcium Propionate (low concern): stops mould in bread. The most common mould inhibitor in packaged bread. Generally regarded as safe. More on Calcium Propionate.

Potassium Sorbate (no concern): stops mould and yeast. A widely used preservative against mould and yeast. Low toxicity. More on Potassium Sorbate.

Not in our additive research yet: Silver Leaves (E 174).

Ingredients to watch

  • Calcium Propionate (INS 282)Fine

    A mild preservative that slows mould so the sweet keeps on the shelf.

  • Potassium Sorbate (INS 202)Fine

    A preservative that stops yeast and mould growing in a moist sweet with a long shelf life.

What it doesn’t have

  • No fibre is declared on the panel.
  • No vitamins or minerals are declared.

What to know about Royal Kaju Katli

A cashew sweet that is nearly half sugar

Bikano Royal Kaju Katli is a 200 g box of cashew cakes, the diamond-shaped sweet bought for festivals, guests and gifting. The list is four items long: sugar, cashew (47.6%), silver leaf (E 174) and two preservatives (E 202 and E 282).

A 30 g serve, the pack's own measure with about seven servings per box, gives 141 kcal, 2.5 g protein and 14.4 g added sugar. Per 100 g the sweet has 470 kcal, 23.6 g fat and 48 g added sugar. Saturated fat is 4.0 g, trans fat is 0 g and sodium is 5 mg.

The name and the front promise cashew, and the list backs that up with a declared 47.6%. What the pack leaves out is how much sugar there is: it is listed first with no percentage. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
