Why Borges Fusilli Whole Wheat Pasta scores [L]CB2

Nutrition is a C on 11.5 g protein and 6.2 g fibre per 100 g in a starch-heavy food. Ingredients are a B: one clean ingredient, but the whole wheat promise costs points. Risk is a 2, driven by energy alone.

01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 11.5 g per 100 g, about 13% of the calories, and fibre is 6.2 g. In a 70 g serve that is 8.1 g protein and 4.3 g fibre, nearly all of it from the wheat itself.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone. With 67 g carbohydrate per 100 g and moderate protein, it stays in the middle.

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 a single ingredient, whole durum wheat semolina. There are no additives, no sweeteners, no added fat and no flavourings, so there is nothing to cost ingredient points on that side.

The point loss is for label integrity. The name and front say whole wheat, but no percentage is declared and the scoring check did not match it as a named ingredient. That costs ingredient points and sets the [L] flag.

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

Energy is the only part that moves the number: 344.7 kcal per 100 g, 241 kcal per 70 g serve. Added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat 0.4 g and sodium 7.8 mg per 100 g, all far below the high lines.

Trans fat is declared as 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so it plays no part. The grade is a 2 only because dry pasta is dense in calories.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Borges Fusilli Whole Wheat Pasta live up to its claims?

The fibre, protein and trans fat claims hold on the panel. The whole wheat in the name is what sets the [L], because no share is declared and it was not matched as a named ingredient.

  • Product name

    “Borges Fusilli Whole Wheat”

    Misleading

    The only ingredient is whole durum wheat semolina, with no percentage declared. Whole wheat in the name was not matched as a named ingredient, which sets the [L].

  • On the pack

    “6.2g FIBRE / High in Fibre”

    Holds

    The panel shows 6.2 g fibre per 100 g, which is 4.3 g in a 70 g serve.

  • On the pack

    “Rich source of protein”

    Holds

    11.5 g protein per 100 g, 8.1 g per 70 g serve. It comes from the wheat itself.

  • On the pack

    “0% Trans Fat”

    Holds

    Trans fat is declared as 0 g, and no hydrogenated fat is in the list.

  • Retail listing

    “Made from 100% Durum Wheat Semolina”

    Be careful

    The retailer page shows durum wheat semolina, while the pack shows whole durum wheat semolina. The pack text is the more specific one, and it gives no percentage.

Ingredients to watch

  • Whole wheat in the nameConcern

    No percentage is declared and whole wheat was not matched as a named ingredient. This is the hollow promise that costs ingredient points and sets the [L].

  • AllergensWorth watching

    Contains wheat, and the pack says it may contain soy.

What to know about Borges Fusilli Whole Wheat Pasta

A one-ingredient pasta with 6.2 g fibre

Borges Fusilli Whole Wheat Pasta is a 500 g pack of imported, Italian-made dried pasta. The ingredient list is one line: whole durum wheat semolina, with no percentage printed. It is bought as an everyday pantry carbohydrate by people who want a wholegrain pasta for sauces, salads and soups.

A 70 g serve, which is how the pack counts its 7 servings, gives 241 kcal, 8.1 g protein, 4.3 g fibre and 1.4 g fat. Per 100 g that is 344.7 kcal, 11.5 g protein, 6.2 g fibre, 4.4 g natural sugar, no added sugar and just 7.8 mg sodium. The cost is mostly energy: it is a dry starch food, 67 g carbohydrate per 100 g.

The pack is plain about what it is, and the fibre and protein claims check out against the panel. The name and front promise whole wheat, but the scoring check did not match that as a named ingredient with a declared share, and that sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]CB2.

Recipes with Borges Fusilli Whole Wheat Pasta

Pair the pasta with vegetables, pulses or egg, and keep the sauce light on salt and oil, to use its 6.2 g fibre per 100 g well.

Vegetable pasta salad

Toss cooled fusilli with chopped raw vegetables and a little olive oil, as the pack suggests, so the 4.3 g fibre per serve is joined by more from the vegetables.

Tomato and vegetable fusilli

Make the sauce at home from tomato and sautéed vegetables, so you control the salt on a pasta that has just 7.8 mg sodium per 100 g.

Pasta and bean soup

Add a handful of fusilli to a vegetable and bean soup, where the 11.5 g protein per 100 g is topped up by the pulses.

Egg or paneer pasta bowl

Stir scrambled egg or crumbled paneer through the cooked pasta to lift the 8.1 g protein per serve.
