Cadbury Nutties Milk Chocolate Pack
Cadbury Nutties is a popular Indian chocolate confectionery featuring roasted peanuts coated in creamy milk chocolate. It falls into **NOVA group 4** (ultra-processed) due to extensive processing, emulsifiers, and added sugars.
Why this verdict
Red flags present. Best treated as an avoid-for-regular-use product unless the underlying evidence changes.
The issue is frequency: the red flags make this a poor default, even if rare use carries lower practical concern.
This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.
Red per v0 threshold based on the provided evidence of 14. 3g free sugars per 30g serving, alongside the product page nutrition listing **Total Sugars: 47.
7g/100g**. This is described as 48% of WHO’s <25g/day adult free-sugar limit and 72% of ICMR 2024 <20g/day, meaning one small pack is a large fraction of daily guidance.

Red per v0 threshold because the research explicitly classifies it as NOVA Group 4 (ultra-processed) and the ingredient list includes multiple industrial additives (emulsifiers 442, 476 and flavouring/vanillin) alongside refined sugar and palm oil. This indicates an industrial formulation beyond minimally processed foods.

Yellow per v0 threshold based on the ingredient list where Vegetable Fats (Palm Oil) appears (listed after sugar and peanuts), plus the nutrition panel noting 29g total fat/100g and 13g saturated fat. The research notes a trans-fat claim (<0.
5g/100g) but does not provide a regulatory lab report or independent verification. Source is the Cadbury Nutties product page.
Green per v0 threshold based on the provided nutrition listing 120mg sodium per 100g, described as low relative to WHO’s <2000mg/day guidance. No higher per-serving sodium figure is provided, but per-100g sodium is modest for packaged foods.

Yellow per v0 threshold because the research does not cite any specific misleading health claim or a specific ASCI case, but also states no specific ASCI rulings on Nutties were identified—so evidence is insufficient to rate green with confidence. The product positioning is described as “creamy milk chocolate with crunchy nutties” without explicit health claims, but the absence of substantiating citations for marketing conduct keeps this at cautionary/insufficient-evidence.

Green per v0 threshold based on the research statement that no FSSAI notices, recalls, or lab failures specific to Nutties were found. The timeline includes a general 2018 FSSAI chocolate standard document, but no adverse action is linked to this product in the provided evidence.
