Balaji Wafers Simply Salted — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Balaji Wafers Simply Salted by Balaji Wafers TREAT — score 45/90.

Just potatoes, palm oil, and salt — a clean three-ingredient list, but it's deep-fried in refined oil and loaded with fat, so it's an indulgence, not health food.

Why this verdict

• Only three recognizable ingredients — no artificial additives at all
• Deep-fried in refined palmolein oil, ~33g fat per 100g
• High saturated fat (~16g/100g)
• Simple but calorie-dense and salty

Ingredients (3)

• Potato (89%) (safe) — A real whole vegetable and the dominant ingredient - the good part of this snack.
• Edible Vegetable Oil (Palmolein) (concerning) — Refined palm oil, high in saturated fat and industrially processed
• Iodized Salt (0.4%) (moderate) — Adds sodium; the iodine is a minor plus, but chips run salty.

Healthier alternatives

• Publix Kettle Cooked Potato Chips (Sea Salt)
