Haldiram's Tasty Nuts are a popular grab-and-go namkeen bought by consumers seeking a familiar, savoury Indian snack. The product is made from a wholesome base of peanuts and chickpea flour with a rich spice blend, but deep-frying in refined palmolein oil and the inclusion of an acidity regulator (INS 330) push it into the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category. At nearly 50 g of fat per 100 g and 493 mg of sodium per 100 g (contributed by both iodised salt and black salt), it is a high-fat, moderately high-sodium snack; on the positive side it carries zero added sugars and zero trans fats. The single most useful thing a curious consumer should know is that while the ingredient list looks largely traditional, the palmolein oil brings process contaminants (GE/3-MCPD flagged by EFSA) and the combined salt load warrants attention for anyone managing blood pressure or heart health.
