Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its high content of saturated fat per serving (approx. 3.53g), which is a significant portion of the recommended daily intake. It is a highly processed food containing multiple additives, including a Class II preservative. While low in sugar, its primary nutritional contribution is from refined carbohydrates and fat, with minimal fiber or micronutrients listed. The typical preparation method (frying) further increases the fat and calorie content.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Healthy Baked McCain Platter
Spread the McCain variety pack on a baking tray in a single layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Serve immediately with a homemade yogurt and mint dip.
Health Benefits
Baking instead of frying significantly reduces the fat content, making it a lighter snack option.
Quick Potato Chaat
Bake or air-fry the McCain products until crisp. In a bowl, toss the hot potatoes with chopped onion, tomato, and fresh coriander. Squeeze lime juice and sprinkle chaat masala to taste, then serve immediately.
Health Benefits
This recipe enhances the snack with fresh vegetables, adding fiber and vitamins (like Vitamin C from lime and tomato).

The product contains thickeners (INS 1422, INS 412), an acidity regulator (INS 260), and a Class II preservative (INS 211 - Sodium Benzoate).
