Milk Ma Cashew Biscuits — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Milk Ma Cashew Biscuits by Milk Ma TREAT — score 43/90.

A brand called 'Milk Ma' selling a biscuit with zero milk in the ingredient list — the dairy is in the name, not the dough. Otherwise it's an honest old-school bakery biscuit: refined flour, sugar, and shortening doing exactly what they always do. Enjoy it as the sugar-fat indulgence it is.

Why this verdict

• Classic indulgence formula: refined wheat flour, sugar, and vegetable shortening are the top three ingredients — a hyper-palatable base, but a simple, short one
• 'Vegetable shortening' is an unspecified hard fat — in Indian bakery products that usually means palm or hydrogenated-style fat with high saturates
• Custard powder isn't custard — it's starch plus flavouring and colour standing in for egg and milk
• Unnamed 'Flavour' with no further disclosure — small but opaque
• Only 7 ingredients and a real nut (cashew) present — this is a basic cookie, not a lab formulation

Ingredients (7)

• wheat flour (moderate) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• vegetable shortening (concerning) — Processed fat; if partially hydrogenated it carries trans fat risk.
• CASHEW (safe) — Real nut adds some healthy fat and protein, though in small amount.
• Custard powder (moderate) — Typically cornstarch with color/flavor; a refined thickener.
• Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
• Flavour (moderate) — Unspecified added flavoring; nature undisclosed.
