What to know about Til Chikki by Charliee

Over half sesame, with nearly half sweeteners

Til Chikki by Charliee is a sesame brittle bar built from four ingredients: sesame (53%), jaggery (25%), sugar (15%) and liquid glucose (7%). It is the traditional Indian sweet snack, sold for a crisp, quick bite with sesame doing most of the work.

A 30 g serve, one third of the pack, gives about 163 kcal, 5.2 g protein, 2.5 g fibre and 11.8 g sugar. Per 100 g that is 543 kcal, 17.33 g protein, 8.33 g fibre, 39.17 g sugar and 30.5 g fat, of which 4.67 g is saturated. Sodium is low at 34.8 mg. Iron is 3.33 mg and potassium 250 mg.

The name and the pack describe what is inside: a sesame brittle, vegan by its list, with no additives, colours or hydrogenated fat. What the pack cannot hide is that jaggery, sugar and glucose together make up 47% of the bar. CleanPlate scores it BA4.

01 Nutrition density: why B

Protein is 17.33 g per 100 g and fibre is 8.33 g, both mostly from the sesame. In a 30 g serve that is about 5.2 g protein and 2.5 g fibre.

Iron (3.33 mg), potassium (250 mg) and a little calcium (33.33 mg) per 100 g add a small bonus. The sugar and energy hold the grade at a B.

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.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sugar is the biggest driver. Jaggery is a sugar source, so its sugar counts: free sugar comes to 39.2 g per 100 g, against 33.33 g declared as added. Energy of 543 kcal per 100 g is the next largest part.

Saturated fat is 4.67 g per 100 g, just under the 5 g high line, and about 1.4 g in a 30 g serve. Sodium is 34.8 mg and trans fat is 0 g, so neither adds to the risk.

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

Red flags

  • Red flag: High added sugar (33.3g per 100g)
