The Healthy Binge Peri-Peri Makhana is a spiced roasted fox-nut snack aimed at health-conscious urban consumers looking for a lower-calorie alternative to fried snacks. Its makhana base is genuinely nutritious — low in sugar (0.59 g per serving), a decent source of dietary fibre (2.4 g per serving), and cholesterol-free — but the inclusion of 'Natural and Nature Identical Flavouring Substances' pushes it firmly into NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) territory, undermining the 'clean snack' positioning. Sodium at 118 mg per 20 g serving (equating to roughly 590 mg per 100 g) is moderate-to-high and cumulative if the whole pack is eaten; individuals with hypertension, kidney disease, or heart disease should be mindful of portion size. A data anomaly worth flagging: the label reports calcium at 2,012 mg — almost certainly an OCR transcription error, as that figure would be physiologically impossible for makhana — so any calcium-related claims should be treated with scepticism until confirmed against the original label.
