Deep-fried rice snack built on a lab flavor stack: refined palm oil, maltodextrin, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and the MSG-booster duo (disodium guanylate + inosinate) engineered to make you keep eating.

Why this verdict

Flavor-enhancer stack: maltodextrin + hydrolyzed vegetable protein + disodium guanylate/inosinate engineered for craving
Deep-fried in refined palmolein — 33g fat (15g saturated) per 100g
High sodium at 738mg per 100g spikes salt load fast
Added sugar and tomato/onion powders just dress up a refined-starch base
Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with stacked anticaking agents and acidity regulators

Ingredients (14)

Rice grits (moderate) — Refined rice base — fast carbs with the bran stripped, little fiber or nutrition
Refined palmolein (concerning) — Refined palm oil used for deep-frying; high in saturated fat, drives calorie density
Maltodextrin (concerning) — A refined-starch filler with a glycemic index higher than table sugar; pure processed carbohydrate with no nutritional upside.
HYDROLYZED VEGETABLE PROTEIN (concerning) — Industrial flavor booster (a hidden glutamate source) used to amplify savory taste
Flavour enhancer (INS 627, disodium guanylate) (concerning) — Nucleotide that multiplies the umami hit alongside glutamates to drive overeating
Flavour enhancer INS 631 (disodium inosinate) (concerning) — Paired with guanylate to make the snack hyper-savory and moreish
Iodised salt / black salt (concerning) — Major sodium load — contributes to 738mg sodium per 100g
Refined sugar (concerning) — Added sugar in a savory snack to round out the craving profile
Onion (1.8%) (safe) — Real flavoring, but a tiny fraction of the seasoning
Tomato Powder (moderate) — Reconstituted tomato paste with anticaking agent for masala flavor
GARLIC (safe) — Whole aromatic; flavor and beneficial plant compounds.
Acidity regulators (INS 296, 330, 334) (moderate) — Malic, citric and tartaric acids for tang — common but signal heavy processing
Anticaking Agent INS 551 (Silicon Dioxide) (moderate) — Keeps the powder free-flowing; an ultra-processing marker
Antioxidant (moderate) — Unspecified additive to stop the frying oil going rancid
