Panchratan Mixture is a popular everyday namkeen targeted at Indian consumers seeking a sweet-spicy dry-fruit-enriched snack with traditional flavour credentials. While the product contains genuinely wholesome inclusions — almonds, cashews, raisins, and sesame seeds — it is ultimately an ultra-processed, deep-fried product owing to the industrial acidity regulator E330, and it carries a notably high saturated fat load: the declared per-100g saturated fat of 15.58g is unusually high even for a fried snack (the per-serving figure of 6.51g in the OCR data implies ~13g/100g, suggesting a possible transcription error, but either figure clears the SafeShelf 6g-per-serving failure threshold). The presence of poppy seeds introduces a lesser-known but EFSA-documented opiate-alkaloid contamination risk for pregnant women, infants, and the elderly, and the multi-allergen profile — declared almonds, cashews, and sesame, with advisory mentions of peanuts and gluten — means several sensitive groups must check this label carefully before consuming.
