Too Yumm markets itself as a healthier snack option, and to some extent that claim does hold some truth, but not fully.
The good part first. These snacks are baked, not fried, so the oil content is lower compared to something like regular potato chips. Some variants also use multigrain flour, meaning wheat, rice, corn, oats and ragi mixed together, which does add a bit more fibre than a plain refined flour snack.
But here is where the healthy tag gets a little shaky. Even though it says baked, most Too Yumm variants still list sunflower oil in the ingredients, so it is not an oil free product like some ads make it sound. The sodium content is also on the higher side in most packs, which matters if someone is watching their blood pressure. And a good chunk of the multigrain claim actually comes down to refined flour and corn flour, not just whole grains, so the fibre benefit is not as strong as the packaging suggests.
So to answer directly, Too Yumm is a better choice compared to a fully fried, oily namkeen or chips packet, but it is not a health food by any real definition. It fits better into the moderate snack category rather than something you eat daily without thinking. Same logic actually applies to most packaged snacks in India, whether it is a modern brand like this or a traditional namkeen brand, moderation matters more than the marketing label on the packet.
