Pizza Khakhra — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Pizza Khakhra by Maniarr's OKAY — score 60/90.
A baked wheat cracker that's mostly flour with a heavy slug of palm oil and a touch of sugar syrup. Simpler than chips, but the 'healthy/high-protein' positioning oversells it.
Why this verdict
- Short, recognizable 9-ingredient list with no artificial colors or flavor enhancers
- But 15% palmolein is a heavy dose of refined oil for a 'diet' snack
- Refined wheat flour dominates — refined carbs, not whole grain
- Sugar syrup and cheese powder add empty calories and sodium
Ingredients (9)
- Wheat Flour (73%) (moderate) — Refined wheat flour is the base — fast-digesting refined carbs, not whole grain despite the 'wheat' framing.
- Edible Vegetable Oil (Palmolein) (15%) (moderate) — Refined palm oil at 15% is a high fat load for a snack marketed as low-fat and diet-friendly.
- Tomato Paste (5%) (safe) — Concentrated tomato for the pizza flavor — minor, fine.
- Sugar Syrup (moderate) — Added sugar in a savory snack — small amount, but empty calories that undercut the 'healthy' claim.
- Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
- Cheese Powder (Milk, Cheese, Salt, Enzymes) (moderate) — Dried cheese seasoning — real dairy but adds fat and sodium.
- ONION POWDER (safe) — Dried aromatic seasoning.
- Oregano Flakes (safe) — Real herb, the only genuinely whole-food note here.
- GARLIC POWDER (safe) — Dried aromatic; fine.
