Kaju Katli is one of India's most iconic mithai, and Haldiram's version stays close to the traditional recipe with cashews making up half the product. Most health-conscious adults will buy this as an occasional indulgence, and for them the main practical flags are: refined sugar is almost certainly the largest contributor by weight after cashews (no nutrition panel was captured, so exact figures are unavailable), the preservative INS 202 technically classifies this as ultra-processed under the NOVA framework despite its short ingredient list, and the silver leaf garnish (E174) carries an unresolved EFSA safety flag due to inadequate genotoxicity and nanoparticle characterisation data — a concern especially worth noting for pregnant women, infants, and those with kidney or liver disease. The single most useful thing a curious consumer should know: this is a relatively clean traditional sweet, but the silver leaf is not the harmless decoration it appears to be, and no nutrition information was available to assess sugar or calorie load.
