What to know about Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
Zero calories, and little else to count
Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is a 946 mL bottle of raw, unfiltered, unpasteurised vinegar that still holds the cloudy 'Mother'. The ingredient list is two lines long: organic apple cider vinegar and water, diluted to 5% acidity. No percentages are declared. People buy it to splash into water, smoothies and salad dressings.
What you get is almost nothing in nutrition terms, and that is the point. One 15 mL tablespoon has 0 kcal, 0 g fat, 0 g carbohydrate, 0 g protein and 0 mg sodium. The only nutrient on the panel is potassium: 11 mg a tablespoon, which is 73.33 mg per 100 ml. The bottle holds 63 tablespoons.
The name and the front panel describe what is in the bottle: organic, raw, unfiltered, with the Mother. The back adds benefit statements about appetite, blood sugar and cholesterol that the nutrition panel does not back with any number. CleanPlate scores it EB1.
Why Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar scores EB1
Nutrition is an E because there are 0 kcal, 0 g protein and no fibre to earn credit. Ingredients are a B for a two-item list with no additives, and risk is a 1 because every risk number is zero.

01 Nutrition density: why E
The panel shows 0 kcal, 0 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate and 0 g fat per 100 ml, and no fibre. With nothing to measure, nutrition earns no credit.
Potassium is the only nutrient declared: 73.33 mg per 100 ml, 11 mg per tablespoon, about 0.34% of the daily need according to the pack. That is too small to lift the grade.
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 organic apple cider vinegar and water. No sweetener, preservative, colour, flavouring or thickener is listed, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No label promise is hollow here, so nothing is lost on label integrity. The one gap is that the share of vinegar and water is not declared.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Sugar, saturated fat, sodium, trans fat and energy are all 0 per 100 ml, and no sugar-type ingredient is listed. Risk lands on the lowest number, a 1.
Even a 1 to 2 tablespoon dose has 0 kcal and 0 mg sodium, so the risk grade does not move with how much you use.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
