Nutritional Summary
The product scores 'AVERAGE' due to a conflict between its positive and negative attributes. While it is made from real bananas, is low in sugar, and has a reasonable sodium level per serving, its health score is significantly lowered by the high saturated fat content (2.59g per 20g serving) from being fried in palmolein. The presence of multiple additives, including a flavour enhancer and antioxidant, also detracts from its overall health profile.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Spicy Banana Chip Chaat
Gently crush a serving of banana chips. Mix them in a bowl with finely chopped onion, tomato, and fresh coriander. Squeeze half a lime over the mix and sprinkle with chaat masala before serving immediately.
Health Benefits
Enhances the snack with fresh vegetables, adding vitamins and antioxidants while balancing the fried texture.
Crunchy Yogurt & Chip Bowl
Take a bowl of thick, plain yogurt (dahi). Lightly crush the banana chips and sprinkle them on top of the yogurt. Garnish with a pinch of roasted cumin powder for a savory, crunchy treat.
Health Benefits
Creates a more balanced snack by combining the chips with protein and probiotics from yogurt, promoting satiety and gut health.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Acidity Regulator (E330), Flavour Enhancer (E631), Anticaking agent (E551), and Antioxidant (E319), are all permitted under FSSAI regulations within safe limits. While generally considered safe for consumption in moderation, some consumers may be sensitive to flavour enhancers like E631 or have concerns about antioxidants like E319 (TBHQ).

Marketing Claims
The claims are generally factual. The product is made from Nendran bananas, typical of Kerala, and the ingredients listed are gluten-free. However, the overall marketing gives a 'natural' and 'traditional' impression which can be seen as questionable given that the product is a highly processed, deep-fried snack with multiple additives and high levels of saturated fat from palmolein. The vague term 'Seasoning (2%)' also lacks full transparency.
