Why 4700BC Jumbo Cheese Popcorn scores BB4

01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 10.3 g per 100 g and fibre is 4.4 g. The largest protein contributor is the cheese, which counts at full credit as a dairy protein source.
Iron (6.3 mg), calcium (165.7 mg) and potassium (262.3 mg) are declared and add a micronutrient bonus, with no fortification involved. Together this gives a grade a B.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
Corn at 70% leads, followed by rice bran oil, cheese and milk solids. That is a short, recognisable list, with no palm oil, no colours and no sweetener. The cheese has no declared share, which costs a small label point.
Silicon dioxide (551), the anti-caking agent, costs ingredient points. Citric acid, lactic acid and rosemary extract cost none. No claim is hollow, so there is no [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 623 mg
- Saturated fat
- 7.1 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the biggest driver at 623 mg per 100 g, followed by energy at 521.9 kcal and saturated fat at 7.13 g. Together they land the risk grade at 4.
Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither plays a part. A 28 g serve brings 146 kcal, 2 g saturated fat and 174 mg sodium.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in 4700BC Jumbo Cheese Popcorn?
Corn leads at 70%, followed by rice bran oil, cheese and milk solids. The one additive that costs points is the anti-caking agent, silicon dioxide.
9 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research. 4 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Corn is first at 70%, then rice bran oil, cheese and milk solids, so the coating is oil and dairy. Salt comes next, then citric and lactic acid for tang, silicon dioxide to keep the seasoning free-flowing, and rosemary extract. Natural flavouring substances are also listed. The cheese has no declared share.
The label numbers, read for you
The numbers that decide the score are sodium at 623 mg per 100 g and fat at 27.1 g, of which 7.13 g is saturated. In a 28 g serve that is about 174 mg sodium and 2 g saturated fat; the whole 45 g pack has about 280 mg sodium.
Protein is 10.3 g per 100 g and fibre 4.4 g, so a serve gives about 2.9 g protein and 1.2 g fibre. Sugar is low at 1.34 g with none added. Iron, calcium and potassium are declared; vitamin D is 0.
Not in our additive research yet: INS 330; INS 270; Anti-Caking Agent (INS 551); Rosemary Extract (INS 392).
Ingredients to watch
- Silicon dioxide (INS 551)Worth watching
An anti-caking agent that keeps the cheese seasoning powder loose and evenly spread over the popcorn. It costs ingredient points.
What it doesn’t have
- No total share is declared for the cheese, so the amount of real cheese is unknown.
