Navrattan is a popular multi-component namkeen bought by Indian households as an everyday snack or tea-time accompaniment. Its most useful headline: despite being pulse-rich and sugar-free, this is an ultra-processed product with very high sodium (798.5 mg/100 g — nearly 40% of WHO's daily limit in just 100 g), a synthetic food colour (Brilliant Blue FCF/INS 133) whose child exposure can exceed EFSA's ADI at high intake, and a blend of palm and palmolein oils linked to cardiovascular concerns. The protein figure (~20 g/100 g) looks impressive but is partly offset by the high fat and sodium load, and a generic 'seeds powder' ingredient cannot be assessed for safety. Frequent or large-portion consumption is best avoided by children, infants, and anyone managing hypertension, heart disease, or kidney disease.
