This is a popular Indian masala peanut snack bought for its bold, tandoori-style flavour and perceived 'natural' spice profile. The product is dominated by peanuts (83%) and real spices, which is a genuine positive, but the inclusion of hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP, soya-derived) — a factory-produced flavour enhancer that carries trace genotoxic processing contaminant 3-MCPD — and refined cottonseed oil (a source of refining-process contaminants GE/MCPD flagged by EFSA) push it firmly into NOVA 4 ultra-processed territory. Sodium is meaningfully elevated: the raw-label data panel records 630 mg per 100 g (vs. the intake form's 190 mg per 100 g, which appears to be a per-serving figure mis-entered as per-100 g — consumers should rely on the on-pack label). The most useful thing a curious consumer should know is that despite the 'no artificial colour or flavour' positioning, this product contains HVP — an industrially hydrolysed protein flavour booster that is not a home-kitchen ingredient and that mandates NOVA 4 classification.
