Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its high content of calories, total fat, and saturated fat per serving, primarily from being deep-fried in palmolein oil. A single 20g serving contains over 100 kcal and 2.32g of saturated fat (over 10% of the daily recommended intake). While it is low in added sugar and contains some fiber, the high fat density and presence of flavour enhancers and synthetic antioxidants make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Spicy Banana Chip Chaat
Crush a handful of banana chips. Mix them with chopped onion, tomato, and boiled chickpeas. Drizzle with tamarind chutney and a squeeze of lime, then garnish with fresh coriander.
Health Benefits
Balances the fried snack by adding fiber and protein from chickpeas and vitamins from fresh vegetables.
Crunchy Masala Raita
Whisk plain yogurt until smooth. Add chopped cucumber, mint, and a pinch of roasted cumin powder. Just before serving, gently fold in a few crushed banana chips for a crunchy texture.
Health Benefits
Combines the snack with cooling probiotics from yogurt and hydration from cucumber, creating a more balanced side dish.
Savoury Indian Trail Mix
In a bowl, combine a small portion of the banana chips with roasted peanuts, cashews, and puffed rice (murmura). Toss with a pinch of chaat masala for a quick, portion-controlled snack.
Health Benefits
Creates a savory trail mix with added protein and healthy fats from nuts, improving the overall nutritional profile.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including flavour enhancers (E627, E631), anticaking agent (E551), and antioxidant (E319), are approved by FSSAI within permissible limits. While generally considered safe, the use of synthetic additives like TBHQ (E319) and flavour enhancers may be a concern for individuals seeking all-natural products. The risk is low when consumed in moderation.

Marketing Claims
The claims are factually accurate (made from Nendran bananas, gluten-free by nature). However, the branding 'Beyond Snáck' and focus on natural aspects like 'Nendran bananas' could create a health halo, potentially misleading consumers into thinking it's a healthy snack. The high fat, saturated fat, and calorie content, along with the use of flavour enhancers and a synthetic antioxidant, are not highlighted, making the marketing ethically questionable as it downplays the unhealthy aspects of a fried snack.
