CleanPlate reviewRagi pillows with a mango name and no mango
Tata Soulfull Ragi Bites Mango Fills are ragi (29%), rice and chana dal pillows filled with a crème of sugar, interesterified vegetable fat, milk solids and cocoa, coloured with beta-carotene and caramel, with nature-identical flavouring and the antioxidant BHA.
CleanPlate scores it [L]EC4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The declared fibre figure is not credited because the ingredients cannot supply it. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by ragi, white rice and chana dal), with additives that cost points: caramel colour, BHA, flavouring and beta-carotene. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the mango named on the pack is not in the ingredient list. The 4 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (33.8 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (7.5 g per 100 g).

Common misconceptions
Myth: "A cereal for kids should be sweet to get them to eat breakfast"
Children get used to the sweetness level they are given; a less sweet base with fruit works too.
Myth: "Orange colour means fruit"
The colour here is beta-carotene, added as a colouring.

Smarter ways to eat it
Add real mango
Plain ragi flakes with fresh mango give the taste without the crème.
Measure the bowl
