Haldiram's Bombay Mix is a popular grab-and-go Indian namkeen, typically enjoyed as an everyday snack or tea-time accompaniment. While it delivers a decent amount of protein (~19 g/100 g) from pulse and peanut-based ingredients, the overall picture is less flattering: the product is ultra-processed (NOVA 4) owing to the presence of a synthetic blue food dye (Brilliant Blue FCF, INS 133), sodium sits at a moderately high 523 mg/100 g, and the oil blend includes cottonseed oil and palmolein — both flagged for saturated fat load and refining-derived process contaminants. The single most useful thing to know: a seemingly traditional snack hides a synthetic colour (INS 133) that pushes it firmly into the ultra-processed category and warrants extra caution for children and people with inflammatory gut conditions.
