This product is a classic Haldiram's multi-legume namkeen bought by consumers seeking a traditional Indian savoury snack. Its biggest flag is an extremely high sodium level of 1,450 mg per 100 g — a single 46 g serving delivers roughly 672 mg of sodium, over a third of the WHO daily limit, drawn from both table salt and black salt. Fat is also very high at 46 g per 100 g (primarily from deep frying in unspecified vegetable oil), though there are zero added sugars and a genuine multi-legume protein base. The presence of E330 (citric acid, an industrially produced acidity regulator) tips the product into NOVA 4 ultra-processed territory. Multiple major allergens — peanut, cashew, sesame, and gluten — are declared on pack. The most useful single thing a consumer should know: this is a high-sodium, high-fat ultra-processed snack and should be eaten in small, occasional portions, especially by anyone managing blood pressure, kidney disease, or heart disease.
