Sold as a wholesome jaggery snack, but three different sweeteners (jaggery, sugar, liquid glucose) come before the peanuts. It's a sugar bar with nuts in it.

Why this verdict

Three separate sweeteners stacked: jaggery + sugar + liquid glucose
Sweeteners listed before peanuts means sugar outweighs the nuts
Liquid glucose is a refined syrup that spikes blood sugar fast
Added vegetable oil layers refined fat onto the sugar load

Ingredients (7)

Water (safe) — Inert; just adjusts texture.
Gud (jaggery) (moderate) — Unrefined cane sugar with trace minerals, but it's still sugar and the marketing leans hard on it.
Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
Liquid glucose (concerning) — A second refined sweetener; rapidly absorbed sugar that adds to the glycemic hit.
Peanuts (safe) — Whole nut with protein and healthy fats; common allergen.
sesame (safe) — Whole seed adding healthy fats, calcium, and a bit of fiber.
Vegetable Oil (moderate) — Added refined oil; type unspecified, layers extra refined fat onto a sugar-heavy bar.
