Why Bambino Premium Regular Vermicelli scores [F]CA2

Nutrition is a C, held up by added vitamins and minerals over 10.5 g protein and 2 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are an A, and risk is a 2 on energy alone.

01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 10.5 g per 100 g and fibre is 2 g, which is not enough to earn core credit. The grade comes from the micronutrient bonus: iron, zinc, folic acid and vitamins B1, B2 and B3 from the premix.

Without that fortification the nutrition grade would be an E. The fortification flag marks that the C depends on added nutrients and not on the semolina itself.

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 A

The list is two items, hard wheat semolina and a vitamin and mineral premix, with no additives, no colour and no preservative. Nothing in it costs ingredient points.

No label promise is hollow: no maida and 100% wheat rawa both match the list. The premix share is not declared, which is the only gap.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 2

Risk is a 2, and it comes from energy alone: 361 kcal per 100 g dry. Free sugar is 0 g because no sugar ingredient is listed, and no saturated fat or trans fat is declared.

The pack prints sodium as 0 mg. Sugar, saturated fat and sodium add nothing to the risk number.

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.

Does Bambino Premium Regular Vermicelli live up to its claims?

No maida and made with 100% wheat rawa both hold, and no preservatives is true. The immunity line is framed generously, and the retailer page shows different iron and vitamin figures.

  • On the pack

    “Made with 100% wheat Rawa / Suji”

    Holds

    Hard wheat semolina is the first and main ingredient. The only other item is the vitamin and mineral premix.

  • On the pack

    “No Maida”

    Holds

    No refined wheat flour is listed. The base is hard wheat semolina.

  • On the pack

    “Enriched with Immunity Boosting Vitamins Zinc & Iron”

    Be careful

    Zinc and iron are added: 1.8 mg zinc and 2.55 mg iron per 100 g dry. The immunity wording is framing, and the fibre is still only 2 g.

  • Retail listing

    “No preservatives”

    Holds

    No preservative or other additive is listed. The list is semolina and a vitamin and mineral premix.

  • Retail listing

    “Iron and vitamins on the nutrition panel”

    The retailer page shows iron 2 mg and no zinc or vitamins, while the pack shows iron 2.55 mg, zinc 1.8 mg and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and folic acid.

What's in Bambino Premium Regular Vermicelli?

Semolina leads, followed by a vitamin and mineral premix, and nothing else is listed. There are no additives, so the points to watch are low fibre and the undeclared premix share.

How we rate additives →

7 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.

The ingredient list, read for you

Hard wheat semolina (rawa) comes first and is the whole base of the strands. The only other item is a vitamins and minerals premix, which supplies niacinamide (B3), ferrous sulphate (iron), zinc sulphate, riboflavin (B2), thiamine mononitrate (B1) and folic acid. No percentage is declared for the premix.

Ingredients to watch

  • Nutrition leans on fortificationWorth watching

    The nutrition grade is a C with the added vitamins and minerals and would be an E without them. The semolina alone has 10.5 g protein and 2 g fibre per 100 g.

  • Low fibreWorth watching

    2 g per 100 g, about 1 g in a 50 g dry serve. Vegetables or pulses in the dish raise it.

  • Carbohydrate loadWorth watching

    77.5 g per 100 g and 361 kcal, so portion size sets the energy. Only 2 g of that is sugar.

  • Short, additive-free listFine

    Semolina and a vitamin and mineral premix, with no preservative, colour or flavouring.

  • ProteinFine

    10.5 g per 100 g, about 5.3 g in a 50 g dry serve.

What it doesn’t have

  • No pack size or serve is printed on the panel, so values are per 100 g of dry vermicelli.
  • No wholegrain: fibre is only 2 g per 100 g.

What to know about Bambino Premium Regular Vermicelli

Simple semolina strands with a vitamin boost

Bambino Premium Regular Vermicelli is dry wheat vermicelli with two items on the list: hard wheat semolina (rawa) and a vitamins and minerals premix of niacinamide, ferrous sulphate, zinc sulphate, riboflavin, thiamine mononitrate and folic acid. It is bought as a pantry staple for kheer, pulav and other quick dishes. The pack does not declare the share of the premix.

Per 100 g of dry vermicelli you get 361 kcal, 10.5 g protein, 77.5 g carbohydrate, 2 g total sugar, 2 g fibre and 1 g fat. The premix adds 2.55 mg iron, 1.8 mg zinc and 60 mcg folic acid, along with vitamins B1, B2 and B3. The pack prints no serve, so a typical 50 g dry serve gives about 181 kcal and 5.3 g protein.

The front says made with 100% wheat rawa and no maida, and the ingredient list agrees. The line about immunity boosting vitamins is true in that zinc and iron are added, but the amounts are modest. CleanPlate scores it [F]CA2.
