What to know about Veerabhadra Masala Sabudana Papad
Almost pure sago starch, with a short clean list
Veerabhadra Masala Sabudana Papad is a papad built on sago (sabudana), seasoned with red chilli, cumin and salt. That is the whole ingredient list, with no percentages declared. It is the kind of snack people buy as a tea-time crunch or a side for a meal, and the pack is 200 g.
Per 100 g it has 346 kcal, 85.8 g carbohydrate, 0.26 g protein, 1.03 g fibre and 0.28 g fat, with no saturated fat. The pack prints a 30 g serve, which gives about 104 kcal and 111 mg sodium. The panel shows 13.99 g total sugar per 100 g, but no sugar ingredient is listed, so none of it is scored as added sugar.
The name is honest: sago leads the list and the masala comes from red chilli and cumin. There are no additives, no hydrogenated fat and no flavourings. The weak point is nutrition, because starch is nearly all there is. CleanPlate scores it EB2.
Why Veerabhadra Masala Sabudana Papad scores EB2
Nutrition is an E because protein is 0.26 g and fibre 1.03 g per 100 g. Ingredients are a B on a four-item list with no additives. Risk is a 2, driven mostly by sodium.
Very low nutrient density

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 346 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 0.26 g per 100 g and fibre is 1.03 g, so neither earns credit. The largest protein contributor is the red chilli, and it adds very little.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade. Energy comes almost entirely from the 85.8 g of carbohydrate per 100 g.
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 B
The list is four plain items: sago, red chilli, cumin and salt. No additive, no flavouring, no hydrogenated fat and no sugar ingredient is listed, so no ingredient points are lost.
Percentages are not declared for any ingredient, which is a small label gap. The name matches what is in the pack.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Total sugar

- Saturated fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium is the main driver: 371.61 mg per 100 g, about 111 mg in a 30 g serve. Energy at 346 kcal per 100 g adds a smaller part.
Saturated fat is 0 g and no sugar ingredient is listed, so free sugar counts as 0 g. Those two play no part in the risk number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
