Very low nutrient density

- Fibre
- 1.7 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 515 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 14.7 g per 100 g, almost all from the peanuts, but fibre is only 1.7 g and no vitamins or minerals are declared, so little adds to the grade. Against that, the bites carry 34 g sugar and 515 kcal per 100 g.
A 20 g serve gives about 2.9 g protein and 103 kcal, so the protein is a modest part of what you eat.
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 four plain items: crushed peanuts (70%), jaggery, cardamom powder and dry ginger powder. No additive, flavouring, hydrogenated fat or dye is listed, so nothing costs ingredient points.
Only the peanuts have a declared percentage, which is a small gap, and none of the front claims is hollow. The pack's no white sugar claim holds, so the top grade stands.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

Energy adds next, at 515 kcal per 100 g. Saturated fat (4.2 g per 100 g) and sodium (34.4 mg per 100 g) add little, and trans fat is 0 g.
