Multi Millet Chikki — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Multi Millet Chikki by Multi Millet ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
Three sweeteners stacked together — jaggery, liquid glucose and sugar — turn this 'healthy millet' bar into an engineered sugar candy.
Why this verdict
- Three stacked sweeteners: jaggery + liquid glucose + sugar
- Liquid glucose is refined corn syrup, not 'natural' sweetness
- Sugar load dominates the small amount of millet and peanut
- Engineered sweetness despite a short, friendly-looking list
Ingredients (5)
- Puffed Finger, Foxtail and Pearl Millet (safe) — Whole millets — fibre, plant protein and minerals like iron and magnesium. The genuinely good part of the bar.
- peanut (safe) — Whole-food protein and healthy fats; adds real nutrition and satiety.
- Jaggery (moderate) — Unrefined cane sugar with trace minerals, but still sugar — spikes blood glucose like any sweetener.
- Liquid glucose (concerning) — Refined corn-syrup sweetener with zero nutrition; pure fast sugar that undercuts any 'natural' claim.
- Sugar (concerning) — Second ingredient and the dominant nutritional driver; added sugar in liquid form spikes blood glucose and adds empty calories.
