What to know about Taali Jumboz Swiss Cheese Puff

A light-feeling puff with 709 mg sodium per 100 g

Taali Jumboz Swiss Cheese Puff is a 65 g bag of large puffed snacks made from corn (62%), rice and rice bran oil, finished with a Swiss-style cheese seasoning (10%) of sugar, iodised salt, milk solids, modified corn starch and paprika extract. It is bought as a ready-to-eat tea-time or travel snack.

Per 100 g the puffs have 490 kcal, 22 g fat, 6 g saturated fat, 5 g protein, 3 g fibre and 709 mg sodium. In the 20 g serve the pack prints, that is 98 kcal, 1 g protein, 4 g fat and 142 mg sodium. The bag holds about three to four of those servings.

The front says no palm oil, not fried and no maida, and the list agrees that no palm oil or maida is in it. The name stresses Swiss cheese, but the cheese share is not declared: cheese powder is one of three milk ingredients inside a seasoning that is 10% of the puff. CleanPlate scores it DB4.

Why Taali Jumboz Swiss Cheese Puff scores DB4

Nutrition is a D because protein is only 5 g per 100 g on a corn and rice base. Ingredients are a B on a short list, and risk is a 4 on 709 mg sodium and 6 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why D

Protein is 5 g per 100 g, about 4% of the calories, and most of it comes from the corn. Fibre is 3 g per 100 g. With 490 kcal per 100 g and no vitamins or minerals declared, there is little to lift 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

The list is short and mostly whole-grain-style staples: corn at 62%, rice and rice bran oil. No palm oil, hydrogenated fat, dye or preservative is listed, which keeps this grade up.

Paprika extract (INS 160c) is a natural colour and costs a small ingredient point. The name stresses cheese but its share is not declared, which also costs a label point.

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

03 Load risk: why 4

Sodium is the biggest driver at 709 mg per 100 g, 142 mg in a 20 g serve. Saturated fat is 6 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, and energy adds further to it.

Added sugar is 1 g per 100 g and trans fat is 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.

Does Taali Jumboz Swiss Cheese Puff live up to its claims?

No palm oil, no maida and no artificial colours or preservatives all hold on the list. The Swiss cheese in the name is only partly backed, since the cheese share is not declared.

  • Product name

    “Swiss Cheese”

    Partly true

    Cheese powder is real, but it is one of three milk ingredients in a seasoning that is 10% of the puff. Its own share is not declared.

  • On the pack

    “NO PALM OIL”

    Holds

    The fat in the list is rice bran oil. No palm oil is named.

  • On the pack

    “NOT FRIED”

    Be careful

    The list cannot confirm how the puffs are made. They still have 22 g fat per 100 g, with 6 g saturated, from rice bran oil.

  • On the pack

    “NO MAIDA”

    Holds

    The base is corn (62%) and rice. No refined wheat flour is listed.

  • On the pack

    “NO ARTIFICIAL COLOURS & PRESERVATIVES”

    Holds

    The only colour is paprika extract (INS 160c), a natural one. No preservative is listed.

What's in Taali Jumboz Swiss Cheese Puff?

Corn, rice and rice bran oil lead, and a seasoning of sugar, salt, milk solids and paprika extract makes up 10%. Salt and fat are what to watch.

The ingredient list, read for you

Corn (62%) leads, then rice and rice bran oil, so the puff itself is a starchy base with oil for crispness. The Swiss-style cheese seasoning is 10% of the product: sugar and iodised salt for taste, milk solids (skimmed milk powder, cheese powder, whey powder) for the cheesy flavour, modified corn starch to make it cling, and paprika extract for colour.

Ingredients to watch

  • SodiumConcern

    709 mg per 100 g, 142 mg in a 20 g serve. It is the largest part of the risk grade.

  • Saturated fatWorth watching

    6 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, about 1.2 g in a 20 g serve.

  • Cheese share not declaredWorth watching

    The name stresses cheese, but only the seasoning (10%) is declared, not how much of it is cheese powder. This costs a label point.

  • Paprika extract (INS 160c)Fine

    A natural colour that costs only a small ingredient point.

  • No palm oil or trans fatFine

    The fat is rice bran oil, and trans fat is declared as 0 g.

What it doesn’t have

  • No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
  • The share of cheese powder in the seasoning is not given.

Who should eat Taali Jumboz Swiss Cheese Puff?

An occasional snack for most adults. Children, anyone watching blood pressure and anyone managing weight should have it less often, since 20 g already gives 142 mg sodium.

  • Most adultsOccasionally

  • ChildrenOccasionally

    709 mg sodium per 100 g with only 5 g protein.

  • High blood pressureRarely

    Sodium is the biggest driver of the risk grade at 709 mg per 100 g.

  • Weight managementOccasionally

    490 kcal per 100 g and only 1 g protein per serve means little fullness.
