- Energy
- 372 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 6.9 g per 100 g, almost all from rice grits, which are 78% of the mix. That is low for the calories, so the protein earns little credit, and a protein factor of 0.65 holds the grade down further.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts it. One 80 g serve gives 298 kcal and 5.5 g protein.
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
The list is short and plain: rice grits, rice bran oil, salt, sugar powder, two dals and whole spices. There are no additives, no preservatives and no hydrogenated fat, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The label does not lose points for hollow promises: the no-palm-oil and no-preservative claims are true. Only rice grits carry a declared percentage, which is a small gap, but the grade stays a B.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 2.8 g
- Sodium
- 1332 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is almost all of the risk: 1,332 mg per 100 g, or 1,066 mg in an 80 g serve, about half of a day's limit.
Energy at 372 kcal per 100 g adds a little. Saturated fat is 1.8 g per 100 g, added sugar is 2.8 g and trans fat is 0 g, so they play only a small part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
