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 legume bringing real plant protein, healthy fats, magnesium and iron. The one genuinely nutritious part of this snack.
- Jaggery (moderate) — This is added sugar. Marginally less refined than white sugar but still sugar, and it contradicts the '0g / no added sugar' claim.
- Liquid glucose (moderate) — A simple syrup adding sweetness and texture.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
