Why Acme Poshan Dark Chocolate & Dry Fruits Protein Bar scores [L][F]CC4
Nutrition is a C on 25 g protein and 9.26 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a C because of hydrogenated fat, five additives and the [L], and risk is a 4 on 10.8 g saturated fat per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 25 g
- Fibre
- 9.3 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 438 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 25 g per 100 g, so 12.5 g in one 50 g bar, and the largest share comes from soya nuggets. Fibre is 9.26 g per 100 g, 4.6 g per bar, and it is scored as isolated fibre because it comes mainly from FOS.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre. At 438 kcal per 100 g the bar is energy dense, which keeps the grade at a C.
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.

- None
02 Ingredient integrity: why C
The coating lists edible vegetable fat (hydrogenated) with no partly or fully qualifier, so it is scored as a partially hydrogenated oil, which costs ingredient points. Trans fat is declared as 0.1 g per 100 g, and that figure is not accepted without the qualifier.
The nature-identical vanilla flavouring, lecithin (322), glycerol (422), PGPR (476) and sorbitan tristearate (492) each cost further points.
The [L] comes from the name. A chocolate flavour is listed and cocoa solids are not among the first three ingredients, and no dried fruit is listed at all. That costs ingredient points as well.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 17.9 g
- Sodium
- 211 mg
- Saturated fat
- 10.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0.1 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the biggest driver: 10.81 g per 100 g, more than twice the 5 g high line. One bar has 5.4 g, from the hydrogenated fat, coconut oil and nuts.
Added sugar of 17.87 g per 100 g (8.9 g per bar) and energy of 438 kcal per 100 g come next. Sodium is the smallest part, at 211 mg per 100 g, and declared trans fat adds a little.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.
[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.
