Our take
CleanPlate reviewWholegrain kids' cookies with 20.9 g of added sugar
Slurrp Farm Banana Oat Cookies are a multigrain blend (48%: whole wheat, jowar, oat), rice bran oil (13%), jaggery (11%), unrefined sugar (11%), instant oats (3%), banana fruit powder (2%), skimmed milk powder, corn flour, nature-identical vanilla and banana flavouring, lecithin, xanthan gum and rosemary extract.
CleanPlate scores it [L]DB3. The D for nutrition is low: only 5.2 g fibre per 100 g and little else credited; its 7.3 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by whole wheat flour, jowar and oat), with additives that cost points: flavouring and xanthan gum. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: banana is named on the pack, but a banana flavouring is listed and the real banana is not among the first three ingredients. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (20.9 g per 100 g) and sodium (223 mg per 100 g).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

- Retail listingHolds
“No Maida, No Palm Oil and No Preservatives”
None of the three is on the list; rice bran oil is the added fat.
