Kallo Plain Rice Cakes contain zero added salt and zero sugar, making them one of the most nutritionally minimal snacks available. Two cakes (18g) contain just 70 kcal. The absence of fat, salt and sugar means they are genuinely different nutritionally from almost all other snacks in this guide.

A standard bag (18g) and a sharing bag (130g) contain very different amounts. A standard bag delivers 70 kcal and 0g of salt. A sharing bag delivers 506 kcal and 0g of salt, 0% of the adult daily limit, from a single product.

The table above shows the nutritional impact at each pack size so the difference is visible before reaching into the bag.

How it compares to daily limits by age group

The table below shows how a standard portion of Kallo Plain Rice Cakes compares to daily limits for sugar, salt and protein across age groups.

Salt

At 0g of salt per 100g, this is one of the lower-salt options in this guide. Choosing lower-salt snacks makes a meaningful difference to daily intake, particularly for children whose limits are more easily reached.

Saturated fat

The saturated fat content of 0.6g per 100g is relatively low for this type of snack. Most crisps fried in sunflower oil contain 2 to 3.5g of saturated fat per 100g.

Sugar

Fibre and protein

Kallo Plain Rice Cakes contains 2.8g of fibre and 8.3g of protein per 100g. A standard bag (18g) provides 0.5g of fibre (2% of the adult daily target of 30g) and 1.49g of protein.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Kallo Plain Rice Cakes is made from one main component: wholegrain rice cakes.

A home-made equivalent, prepared in one kitchen from whole ingredients, would use a handful of recognisable components with no additives. These processing aids are used because the brief contact time during industrial frying or baking is insufficient to develop the complex, stable flavours the seasoning provides at scale.

Looking at the ingredient list tells a different story from just the headline numbers. The additives and processing aids give this product its consistent flavour at industrial scale.
