Healthy Recipe Ideas
Spicy Chip Chaat
1. Finely chop onion, tomato, and coriander. 2. In a bowl, mix the chopped vegetables with boiled chickpeas and a squeeze of lemon juice. 3. Gently crush a small handful of Uncle Chipps and sprinkle over the top just before serving. 4. Drizzle with mint chutney for extra flavour.
Health Benefits
Adds a crunchy texture to a fiber and protein-rich chaat, promoting portion control of the chips.
Crunchy Raita Topping
1. Prepare a standard vegetable raita with curd, grated cucumber, and carrots. 2. Lightly crush a few Uncle Chipps. 3. Sprinkle the crushed chips over the raita just before serving to maintain crunchiness. 4. Garnish with a pinch of roasted cumin powder.
Health Benefits
Incorporates the chips into a probiotic-rich dish, using them as a condiment rather than a main snack.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple FSSAI-approved additives. Flavour enhancers INS 631 (Disodium inosinate) and INS 627 (Disodium guanylate) are often used with MSG and should be consumed in moderation. Colour INS 150d (Sulphite ammonia caramel) is generally considered safe at low levels. The overall additive load is high for a simple snack food, indicating heavy processing.

Marketing Claims
The '30% EXTRA' claim encourages purchasing a larger quantity of an unhealthy snack. While not strictly illegal, it can be ethically questionable if the base price or weight is not clearly defined or has been manipulated to make the offer seem better than it is. The 'Spicy Treat' branding accurately reflects the product's flavour profile.
