What to know about The Magic Oven Sourdough Cumin Grissini Sticks

Short ingredient list, but mostly refined flour

The Magic Oven Sourdough Cumin Grissini Sticks are thin baked breadsticks made from all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, cumin seeds, sugar, olive oil and water. They are sold in a 200 g pack as a dipping and cheese-board snack, with a premium, artisanal pitch. No ingredient percentages are declared.

Per 100 g you get 427 kcal, 10.5 g protein, 72.6 g carbohydrate, 4.18 g sugar, 10.5 g fat and 434 mg sodium. The pack prints no serve, so a typical serve of 30 g (our estimate) gives about 128 kcal, 3.2 g protein and 130 mg sodium.

The name and front promise sourdough, gut friendliness and a vegan, baked snack. The list is short and has no additives, but refined flour leads it and the pack gives no figure behind its digestion and glycaemic claims. CleanPlate scores it EB3.

Seven plain ingredients and no additives make this a simpler label than most packaged crackers and biscuit-style snacks, yet the sticks are still mostly refined flour, so they behave like a crisp bread rather than a whole-grain one. The 10.5 g of protein per 100 g is real but comes mainly from that refined flour.

They make sense as a dipping stick with hummus, raita or cheese, where a few sticks add crunch. Sodium and energy are what to watch: a 30 g handful is about 128 kcal and 130 mg sodium, and it is easy to eat several handfuls from a 200 g pack.

Compared with fried namkeen or chips, the fat is olive oil and no hydrogenated fat is listed, which is a genuine plus. Compared with a whole-grain cracker, there is no fibre figure and little nutritional lift, so no swap is clearly better on the numbers. The real trade-off is a clean list against a refined base.

Why The Magic Oven Sourdough Cumin Grissini Sticks scores EB3

Nutrition is an E because refined flour supplies most of the protein and no fibre or micronutrients are declared. Ingredients are a B on a short additive-free list, and risk is a 3 on 434 mg sodium per 100 g.

How we score →

01 Nutrition densityA to E

Very low nutrient density

Protein: 10.5 g
Fibre: Not declared
Vitamins and minerals: None declared
Energy: 427 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 10.5 g per 100 g, but the largest contributor is refined all purpose flour, which supplies about 45% of it, so it earns little credit. No fibre figure, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade.

Energy is 427 kcal per 100 g, mostly from 72.6 g of carbohydrate, so the base is dense and refined.

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 integrityA to E

Good, few concerning additives

Base: All Purpose Flour
Main fat: Olive Oil
Sweeteners: Sugar
Additives: 0
Flagged: None

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list is short and plain: flour, whole wheat flour, salt, cumin seeds, sugar, olive oil and water. No additives are listed, and no hydrogenated fat, so the declared trans fat of 0.05 g per 100 g is accepted.

Points are held back because no ingredient percentages are declared, sugar is a listed ingredient, and refined flour leads the list. The label makes no hollow promise, so nothing is lost on label integrity.

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

03 Load risk1 to 5

Moderate risk

Total sugar: 4.2 g
Sodium: 434 mg
Trans fat: 0.05 g

03 Load risk: why 3

Sodium is the biggest driver: 434 mg per 100 g, about 130 mg in a 30 g serve. Energy at 427 kcal per 100 g is the next largest part.

Sugar adds only a little at 4.18 g per 100 g, and trans fat is 0.05 g per 100 g. Together they land risk on a 3.

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