Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 10.9 g
- Fibre
- 8 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 497 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 10.9 g per 100 g, or 2.19 g per 100 kcal, and the largest share comes from moong dal (30% of the chip, about 6.6 g). Fibre is 8.0 g per 100 g, 2.8 g in a 35 g serve, which helps the grade.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone.
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 A
The list leads with moong dal and plain flours, then pea protein, urad dal and rice bran oil. No additive of concern is listed, and the seasoning uses citric acid, rosemary extract and a paprika colour.
The grade stays strong, but label integrity costs ingredient points: the tomato named on the pack is not in the base, and the High Protein Snack claim fails its test at under 11 g protein per 100 g and 2.19 g per 100 kcal. That sets the [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 1.1 g
- Sodium
- 594.9 mg
- Saturated fat
- 6.3 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium and energy carry most of the risk number: 594.9 mg sodium and 497 kcal per 100 g. Saturated fat is 6.3 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, and it is the next biggest driver.
Added sugar is 1.1 g per 100 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither plays a part. One 35 g serve has 174 kcal, 2.2 g saturated fat and 208 mg sodium.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Troovy The Good Moong Dal Chips Tangy Tomato live up to its claims?
The high-protein claim does not hold: 10.9 g per 100 g is under the 11 g line. The tomato is real but small, at 9% inside the seasoning, and the additive claims are only partly clean.
- On the packMisleading
“High Protein Snack”

Dehydrated tomato is listed at 9%, but only inside the seasoning and not in the base. The tomato named on the pack is scored as absent and costs ingredient points.
- On the packBe careful
“0% Synthetic Additives”
No additive of concern is listed, and the citric acid is made by fermentation. The seasoning does include nature-identical flavours alongside natural ones.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Made with 58% Moong Dal”
The retailer page shows a 58% mix of moong dal, rice, urad dal and pea protein, and the pack shows moong dal at 30% with no 58% figure.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Low Oil”
Total fat is 25.1 g per 100 g, 8.8 g in a 35 g serve, from rice bran oil and the base.

What to know about Troovy The Good Moong Dal Chips Tangy Tomato
A moong dal chip that falls short of its protein claim
A 70 g pack of seasoned moong dal chips. The base, called Bava Mix on the pack, is moong dal (30%), tapioca flour, rice flour, pea protein, urad dal, rice bran oil and maize starch, with a tomato and spice seasoning. It is sold to parents and snackers who want a crunchy chip with a pulse base and no palm oil.
What you get is a fairly protein-and-fibre-rich chip: 10.9 g protein and 8.0 g fibre per 100 g, so 3.8 g protein and 2.8 g fibre in a 35 g serve. What it costs is energy, fat and salt: 497 kcal, 6.3 g saturated fat and 594.9 mg sodium per 100 g, which is 174 kcal and 208 mg sodium in one serve. The pack holds two serves.
The front says High Protein Snack, and the panel does not quite back it: protein is under the 11 g line and low for the calories. The tomato in the name is listed only as dehydrated tomato (9%) in the seasoning. That claim and the missing tomato in the base set the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]CA4.
