A realistic serve of Wheafree Gluten Free Jeera Cookies (1 cookie, 10 g) has 52 kcal, 0.7 g protein, 5.5 g carbohydrate, 3 g fat, 1.6 g added sugar and 51 mg sodium. Per 100 g it has 519 kcal, 7.1 g protein, 54.6 g carbohydrate, 30.2 g fat, 19.2 g saturated fat, 15.7 g added sugar, 3.5 g fibre and 514 mg sodium.
Wheafree Gluten Free Jeera Cookies are a multigrain, wheat-free cookie flavoured with cumin and meant for tea time. It scores DB5: low on nutrition because protein and fibre are modest, reasonable on ingredients despite the hydrogenated fat and added flavouring, and high on risk because of saturated fat. Best kept as a rare treat, mainly when gluten-free options are limited.

Why Wheafree Gluten Free Jeera Cookies scores DB5
Nutrition is a D on modest protein and fibre, ingredients are a B because grains and pulses are in the list, and risk is a 5 on 19.16 g saturated fat per 100 g.
Low nutrient density
- Protein
- 7.1 g
- Fibre
- 3.5 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 519 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 7.11 g per 100 g and fibre 3.45 g, so one 10 g cookie gives 0.7 g protein and 0.3 g fibre. The largest protein contributor is Bengal split gram (chana dal), a pulse.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade beyond protein and fibre. That leaves it at a D.
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
Hydrogenated vegetable fat and sugar lead the list, followed by Bengal split gram, rice, maize, black split gram, brown rice, maize starch and sorghum. The grains and pulses are a real strength, but no percentages are declared, which costs a small label point.
The hydrogenated fat has no partly or fully qualifier, so it is scored as a partially hydrogenated oil until the maker confirms. The flavouring is declared as nature-identical, natural and artificial, and that costs ingredient points.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk

- 15.7 g
- Sodium
- 514 mg
- Saturated fat
- 19.2 g
- Trans fat
- 0.58 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat is the main driver: 19.16 g per 100 g, almost four times the 5 g high line, and 1.9 g in one cookie.
Energy (519 kcal per 100 g), sodium (514 mg per 100 g), added sugar (15.65 g per 100 g) and 0.58 g trans fat per 100 g add to it. Together they put risk at the top of the scale.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Wheafree Gluten Free Jeera Cookies?
Hydrogenated vegetable fat and sugar lead the list, ahead of the grains and pulses. The hydrogenated fat and the added flavouring are what to watch.
15 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research. 1 more entry looks like an additive we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Hydrogenated vegetable fat leads, then sugar, so the dough is fat and sugar held together by gram, rice and maize flours. Brown rice and sorghum are present, and cumin gives the jeera taste. Iodized salt, custard powder, baking powder and ammonium carbonate (503(ii)) raise the dough, and vanilla flavour finishes it. The pack adds that the flavouring is nature-identical, natural and artificial.
Lactose free holds in the sense that no milk ingredient is listed. No ingredient percentages are declared, so the share of each grain is unknown.
The label numbers, read for you
Hydrogenated vegetable fat is the first ingredient, with no partly or fully qualifier. The panel declares 0.58 g trans fat per 100 g, but that figure is not accepted without the qualifier, so the fat is scored as partially hydrogenated oil. Saturated fat is 19.16 g per 100 g, about 1.9 g in one 10 g cookie.
Added sugar is 15.65 g per 100 g, about 1.6 g per cookie. Energy is 519 kcal per 100 g and 52 kcal per cookie. Protein is small at 0.7 g a cookie, fibre is 3.45 g per 100 g, and sodium is 514 mg per 100 g. No vitamins or minerals are declared.
Not in our additive research yet: Leavening Agent (INS 503(ii)).

What it doesn’t have
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- No percentages are given for the grains, pulses or cumin.
