Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with negligible protein, fiber, or real nutrition

Ingredients (11)

Refined Wheat Flour (Maida 53.5%) (concerning) — Refined flour stripped of fiber and nutrients; spikes blood sugar and is the dominant ingredient.
Palmolein Oil (moderate) — Refined palm oil, high in saturated fat.
Starch (7.8%) (moderate) — Refined starch adds crunch and empty carbs with no nutritional value.
Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
Iodised Salt (safe) — Sodium with added iodine; fine in small amounts but adds to the sodium load.
Dehydrated Vegetable Powder (Onion, Garlic, Tamarind) (safe) — Flavoring from real vegetables; minor and benign contribution.
Spices & Condiments (Mango, Cumin, Ginger, Chilli, Black Pepper) (safe) — Real spices for the masala flavor; harmless and mildly beneficial.
Acidity Regulators (INS 330, INS 296, INS 334) (safe) — Citric, malic, and tartaric acids for tang; safe but signal heavy formulation.
Colour (INS 160c) (moderate) — Added paprika/carotenoid color to fake a richer look.
Natural & Nature-Identical Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Lab-matched flavourings engineered to boost cravings.
Anti-Caking Agent (INS 551) (safe) — Silicon dioxide keeps the seasoning free-flowing; inert but a processing marker.
