01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 11.11 g per 100 g, mostly from the gram flour, and fibre is 3.33 g. A 90 g serve has 10 g protein and 3 g fibre, but it also has 540 kcal, so the protein earns only a small share of credit.
No vitamin or mineral amounts are declared, so nothing else lifts 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 has four items and every share is declared: gram flour 65%, palm oil 27.2%, edible starch 6% and salt 1.8%. No colour, preservative, flavour or other additive is listed, and nothing on the pack loses label-integrity points.
Palm oil is a refined frying fat, and the edible starch is a refined filler, which is what keeps this at a B rather than higher.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Total sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium

- Saturated fat
- 20 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat drives the risk number: 20 g per 100 g, four times the 5 g high line. A 90 g serve has 18 g, and the whole 170 g pack has 34 g.
Energy adds to it at 600 kcal per 100 g. Sodium is 211 mg per 100 g and adds little. Sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither plays a part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Chheda's Nylon Sev Bhujia?
Gram flour, palm oil, starch and salt, with every share declared and no additives. The palm oil is the one ingredient to watch.
4 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern.
The ingredient list, read for you
Gram flour (besan) leads at 65% and gives the sev its body and most of its protein. Palm oil at 27.2% is the frying fat, edible starch at 6% is a binder that usually adds crispness, and salt is 1.8%.
No spice, colour, preservative or flavouring is named, so the taste comes from the besan, the fat and the salt. The pack says it is made in a facility that processes nuts, milk, soy and wheat.
The label numbers, read for you
Saturated fat is the number that decides the score: 20 g per 100 g, and 18 g in one 90 g serve. Total fat is 43.3 g per 100 g and energy is 600 kcal, or 540 kcal per serve. The bag holds about two serves.
Protein is 11.1 g per 100 g (10 g per serve) and fibre is 3.3 g. Sodium is 211 mg per 100 g, about 190 mg per serve, and sugar is 0 g. No vitamin or mineral amounts are declared.
What the additives do
Palm oil (low concern): cheap, heat-stable frying fat. A cheap, stable frying oil that is about half saturated fat. Very common in Indian packaged snacks. More on Palm oil.

A refined frying fat that makes the sev crisp and is the source of most of its saturated fat.
What it doesn’t have
