Why Sweet Karam Coffee Madras Mixture Namkeen Snacks scores DB4
Nutrition is a D because the mix is mostly flour and oil, at 560 kcal and 10.4 g protein per 100 g. Ingredients are a B for a plain list with no additives. Risk is a 4 on saturated fat and energy.
Low nutrient density
- Protein
- 10.4 g
- Fibre
- 4 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 560 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 10.4 g per 100 g and fibre is 4 g, but the mix is 35 g fat per 100 g and 560 kcal, so the protein is small next to the energy. The largest protein contributor is gram flour, with peanuts and cashews adding some.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, 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 B
Gram flour, rice bran oil and rice flour lead the list, followed by puffed rice, peanuts, cashews, curry leaves, Bengal gram, salt and spices. These are plain foods, and no additive is listed.
No hydrogenated fat appears, so the declared 0 g trans fat is accepted, and no label promise is hollow. Percentages for the ingredients are not declared, so the list cannot be checked for how much of each is in the mix.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Saturated fat
- 8.6 g
- Trans fat

03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is 8.6 g per 100 g and energy is 560 kcal, and together they are most of the risk number. Sodium is 453.7 mg per 100 g and adds a smaller share.
Sugar is 0 g, so it plays no part. A 20 g serve has 1.7 g saturated fat, 112 kcal and about 91 mg sodium.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Peanuts, cashews and Bengal gram give the crunch and some protein, curry leaves, chilli powder and asafoetida give the flavour, and salt finishes it. No percentages are declared, so the share of nuts is not known.
The allergen note on the back says the pack contains wheat and nuts and may contain milk, although no wheat ingredient is listed. Anyone avoiding wheat or nuts should go by that note.
