This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.

Sugar load

Per 25g serving contains 0. 49g total sugar, equivalent to ~2g per 100g.

This represents 2% of WHO's recommended daily free sugar intake and aligns with ICMR 2024 recommendations favoring <5g per 100kcal. Substantially lower than conventional potato chips (3-5g per 25g serving).

Processing tier
Think twice trigger

Product is NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) despite clean ingredient labels. Manufacturing involves dehydration, bone broth reconstitution with tapioca starch binders, industrial frying to puff-expansion, and multi-stage seasoning.

Process mimics industrial snack production but base proteins are unfractionated whole meat rather than isolates.

Fat / oil type

Uses olive oil as primary fat source (5. 42g fat per 25g serving, ~21.

7g per 100g). No palm oil, hydrogenated oils, or trans-fats declared on ingredient lists across four flavor variants reviewed.

Saturated fat and detailed lipid breakdown not publicly disclosed, limiting full assessment of cardiovascular impact.

Sodium
Think twice trigger

Per 25g serving lists sodium 0. 4g (400mg), representing 20% of WHO daily limit.

One packet provides substantial sodium, though within single-serving acceptability. Per-100g extrapolation yields ~1600mg sodium, concerning for multi-packet consumption or incorporation into meals.

Marketing deception

Claims of 'high-protein' (10g per 25g = 40% protein by weight), 'low-sugar' (0. 49g per serving), and 'low-calorie' (118.

46 Kcal per 25g) are verifiable from published nutritional data. Claims of 'free-range chicken' and 'bone broth' base are ingredient-supported.

No ASCI complaints identified; claims appear substantiated.

Regulatory history

Product holds valid FSSAI Central License 12825019001893 issued to PJTJ Technologies/Tom and Jerky Private Limited, Kolkata facility. No FSSAI notices, recall orders, adulteration findings, or suspensions documented in publicly available regulatory records.

Limited market tenure (~3 years) means incomplete long-term safety surveillance history.
