Why Bazana Roasted and Salted 100% California Pistachios scores CA4

Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 21.5 g
- Fibre
- 9.5 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 630 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 21.5 g per 100 g and fibre is 9.5 g, almost all from the pistachios themselves. In a 30 g handful that is about 6.5 g protein and 2.9 g fibre.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone. That holds it at a C rather than higher.
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.

03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the biggest driver: 630 kcal per 100 g, about 189 kcal in a 30 g handful. Sodium at 520 mg per 100 g and saturated fat at 7.2 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, add to it.
Added sugar and trans fat are both 0 g, so they play no part. Together the numbers land on a 4.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
