5/8

claims fully supported

“12G Protein Per Serve”true

Nutrition data shows 12.05g protein per 100g, and the RDA table confirms ~96.4% protein RDA per serving; the claim aligns with per-100g data, though serving size is not declared on pack, making the per-serve figure unverifiable independently of the 100g baseline.

“No Sugar”true

Total sugars are 0.08g per 100g — effectively negligible and consistent with a 'no sugar' claim at any reasonable serving size.

“No Added Sugar”true

Added sugar is declared as 0g and %RDA for added sugars is 0.00%; no hidden sugar aliases (dextrose, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, etc.) were detected in the ingredient list.

“Plant Protein Blend”true

Plant Protein Blend is listed as an ingredient and is confirmed in the ingredient dossier as a multi-source plant protein concentrate/isolate mixture.

“Heat-stable Formulation”unverified

Extra information explicitly states: 'Unlike many proteins that lose their structure and effectiveness when heated, Proteinmix Roti retains its nutritional power even at high temperatures.' No independent lab data is provided, but the claim is declared on-pack.

“No Taste, No Odour”unverified

Product is unflavored and extra information states 'Perfectly invisible, yet protein-packed,' but no sensory or organoleptic test data is available to verify the claim objectively.

“Perfectly invisible, yet protein-packed”unverified

Marketing tagline without supporting sensory or analytical evidence in any of the four data sources.

“For Your Daily Meals”true

Directions for use explicitly state the product can be used in Pancake, Roti, and Dosa; usage suggestions corroborate this positioning.

03 — The fuller picture

Read the whole thing if a one-line verdict isn’t enough.

What’s in favour, and what’s working against it

In favour

Very high protein: ~12g per 100g, covering ~96% protein RDA per serve
Virtually zero sugar (0.08g/100g) and zero added sugar
Zero saturated fat
Unflavored — no artificial flavours or sweeteners declared
Vegetarian certified with FSSAI green dot mark
Heat-stable formulation preserves nutritional value during cooking

Working against

Contains peanut (nut powder) — a major allergen not declared on pack
Plant Protein Blend sources undisclosed — potential hidden allergens (soy, wheat)
NOVA 4: protein isolate/concentrate ingredient not used in home kitchens
No FSSAI license number visible on pack — regulatory transparency gap
Moderate sodium: 166.5mg/100g (15.56% RDA per serving)
Makhana heavy-metal bioaccumulation risk if sourced from polluted water

Who should approach with care

Nut Allergy — Nut Powder has been identified as peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in the ingredient dossier; peanut is a leading cause of anaphylaxis, and even trace quantities can be life-threatening for sensitised individuals per EFSA and FDA guidance.

Gluten Intolerance — The Plant Protein Blend does not disclose its constituent sources; if it contains wheat protein isolate or wheat gluten, the product is unsafe for individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

Infants — Multiple ingredient concerns converge for infants: peanut requires physician-supervised introduction in high-risk infants; pearl millet anti-nutritional factors impair iron/zinc absorption; makhana heavy-metal bioaccumulation risk; and plant protein blends are not suitable sole protein sources under FSSAI infant formula regulations.

Children — Peanut is implicated in approximately 75% of allergic reactions in children alongside egg, cow's milk, fish, and nuts (EFSA 2014); children with known sensitisation or a family history of peanut allergy must avoid this product.

Pregnancy — Makhana seeds harvested from contaminated water bodies can bioaccumulate heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Pb, Cu), posing a heightened developmental risk during pregnancy unless procurement from certified, clean-source suppliers is confirmed.

Kidney Disease — High protein content (~12g/100g) increases renal nitrogen load, and makhana contributes phosphorus (~0.9%/100g); both are clinically significant for patients on protein- or phosphorus-restricted diets, requiring medical guidance.

Liver Disease — Peanuts can harbour aflatoxin B1 (IARC Group 1 hepatocarcinogen) when improperly stored; this mycotoxin is particularly hepatotoxic and poses elevated risk to individuals with pre-existing liver disease.

Ibs — Legume-based plant proteins (pea, soy) in the Plant Protein Blend contain fermentable oligosaccharides (FODMAPs) that may exacerbate bloating, gas, and bowel irregularity in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome.

Ibd — Pearl millet's high phytic acid, tannin, and polyphenol content reduces bioaccessibility of iron and zinc; individuals with IBD who already face impaired micronutrient absorption should ensure the product is used with properly processed (fermented/soaked) grains.

Phenylketonuria — All protein sources in this product contribute phenylalanine; individuals with PKU must carefully monitor total phenylalanine intake from all dietary proteins under medical supervision.

Other — If the Plant Protein Blend contains soy protein, soy-allergic individuals face a risk of IgE-mediated allergic reactions; soy is a mandatory declared allergen under FSSAI, FALCPA, and EU Regulation 1169/2011, but the blend's sources are not disclosed on this label.

The full analysis

Health-conscious Indian households looking to quietly boost the protein content of daily meals are the core audience for this product. At 12g protein per 100g with virtually zero sugar and negligible fat, the nutritional profile is genuinely strong for a meal-enhancer. However, the product raises several transparency concerns: 'Nut Powder' is identified in the ingredient dossier as peanut—one of the most severe food allergens globally—yet the label allergen field is blank, which is a significant labeling gap under FSSAI rules; additionally, the 'Plant Protein Blend' does not disclose its constituent sources, leaving potential soy, wheat, or additional nut proteins undeclared. The most useful single thing a consumer should know: if you or anyone you cook for has a peanut or nut allergy, treat this product as a peanut-containing food until the manufacturer explicitly clarifies all protein-blend sources.
