The product is a low carbohydrate, high fat, moderate protein snack. Such foods are a good fit for people on a ketogenic diet and who are in a state of ketosis.
It contains a high fat content of 26 gm per 100 gm of the product. High fat consumption does not work the same way for people who are not in ketosis and who are not on a ketogenic diet. A diet high in both carbohydrates and fat is quite damaging and can accelerate obesity and therefore lifestyle diseases.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol food additive, its known side effects for regular use of erythritol are stomach rumbling, nausea, and diarrhea in higher doses of over 50 gm.
It contains rice bran oil in it-an edible vegetable oil, which has a high omega-6 content and may increase the risk of several diseases if not balanced with adequate consumption of Omega 3 fats.
The foodnetindia rating for this product:-
foodnetindia safety rating : 7 – (On a scale of 1 to 10 from very unsafe to very safe)
The product is a safe food for people on a ketogenic diet. But for people who are not on a ketogenic diet, as a high fat product, we would label it as an HFSS product and not consider it as safe for regular snacking. However, as the product is clearly marketed as a keto friendly snack, we do not consider such HFSS labelling necessary.
foodnetindia wholesomeness rating :8 – (On a scale of 1 to 10 from very unbalanced nutrition profile to excellent nutrition profile)
Ketofy Bhujia has a nutritious mix of seeds in it which is wholesome for those on a ketogenic diet.
Ingredients in Ketofy Bhujia which are a concern
Erythritol
Rice Bran Oil
Erythritol
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol food additive, its known side effects for regular use are stomach rumbling, nausea, and diarrhea in higher doses over 50 grams.
Rice Bran Oil
Certain vegetable oils contain very large amounts of biologically active fats called Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which could be harmful in excess. Excess polyunsaturated fats may react with oxygen and oxidised Omega-6 fats can damage body functions and perhaps even vital structures like DNA. In addition, consumers need clear information about the type of vegetable oil used, so that they can take action to maintain a healthy balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acid consumption.
