Our take

CleanPlate review

High protein, very high salt and an iron figure that does not add up

Too Yumm High Protein Super Oats Masala is rolled oats (54%), a seasoning of spices, starch, salt, hydrolysed vegetable protein, sugar, yeast extract, acidity regulators, enhancer 635, anticaking agents and colours, textured soya protein (17%), rice bran oil, jowar, bajra and chia (2% each) and BHA.

CleanPlate scores it [L]BB5. The B for nutrition reflects 22.2 g protein and 12.2 g fibre per 100 g. The declared iron figure is not credited because the ingredients cannot supply it. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by rolled oats, spices and condiments and starch), with additives that cost points: caramel colour, calcium phosphates, BHA and flavouring. The [L] marks a declared value that the ingredients cannot support. The 5 for risk comes mainly from sodium (2690 mg per 100 g) and free sugar (5.2 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “Iron 18.8 mg”

    Misleading

    Oats, soya, millets and spices can supply about 5 mg; no added iron is listed.

  • On the pack

    “22 g Protein”

    Holds

    22.2 g per 100 g; 11.1 g in a 50 g serve.

  • On the pack

    “Rich in Fibre”

    Holds

    12.2 g per 100 g.

  • On the pack

    “No Preservatives”

    Be careful

    BHA (320) is listed as an antioxidant; it keeps the oil from going rancid.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "High protein makes it a health food"

The protein is real; one serve is also two-thirds of a day's salt.

Myth: "Oats lower cholesterol, so this pack is heart-healthy"

Oat fibre helps, but the sodium in the seasoning works against blood pressure.

  • ChildrenRarely
  • Diabetes or prediabetesLimit

Smarter ways to eat it

Use half the tastemaker

Cook with half the seasoning and add fresh onion, tomato, chilli and lemon; most of the taste stays, a lot of the salt goes.

Bulk it with vegetables

Add chopped vegetables or peas while cooking: more volume and fibre for the same salt.
