01 Nutrition density: why D

Protein is 10.9 g per 100 g and fibre 3.95 g, all from the durum semolina, while carbohydrate is 77.8 g. Protein per calorie is modest, so it earns only limited credit.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade. A single refined-grain ingredient gives a base that is energy first.

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 one item, durum wheat semolina, with no additives, no sweetener, no added fat and no flavouring. That leaves nothing to cost ingredient points.

No label promise is hollow: the 100% durum and no maida claims match the list, so the ingredient grade stays at the top.

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 nearly all of the risk number: 366.6 kcal per 100 g. Saturated fat is 0.4 g, sodium is 2 mg and added sugar is 0 g, so they add almost nothing.

Total sugars are 3.14 g per 100 g, which is the wheat itself. Trans fat is 0 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed.

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

Does Del Monte Foodcraft Spaghetti live up to its claims?

The durum, no maida, protein and fibre, and cholesterol and trans fat claims hold. The zero fat wording on the back does not match the 1.63 g fat per 100 g on the panel.

  • On the pack

    “100% Durum Wheat Semolina”

    Holds

    The ingredient list is durum wheat semolina and nothing else.

  • On the pack

    “Source of Protein & Dietary Fibre”

    Holds

    10.9 g protein and 3.95 g fibre per 100 g, so about 8.7 g and 3.2 g in an 80 g dry serve.

  • On the pack

    “0% Cholesterol/ Trans Fat”

    Holds

    Cholesterol and trans fat are both declared as 0, and no hydrogenated fat is listed.

  • On the pack

    “No Cholestrol Zero Fat”

    Be careful

    Cholesterol is 0, but the panel shows 1.63 g total fat per 100 g, with 0.4 g saturated. It is low in fat, not zero.

  • On the pack

    “No Maida”

    Holds

    The only flour listed is durum wheat semolina. Semolina is still a refined wheat product, but it is not maida.

The ingredient list, read for you

The list is one line: durum wheat semolina. It is the source of all the protein, fibre and carbohydrate, and the only thing in the pack. There are no additives, preservatives, colours or added oils.

Ingredients to watch

  • Starch-heavy baseWorth watching

    77.8 g carbohydrate per 100 g, about 62 g in an 80 g dry serve. Total sugars are only 3.14 g, but the starch still raises blood sugar.

  • Modest fibreWorth watching

    3.95 g per 100 g, about 3.2 g per serve. Vegetables in the sauce add more.

  • Single ingredientFine

    Durum wheat semolina only, with no additives and no added sugar.

  • Sodium and saturated fatFine

    2 mg sodium and 0.4 g saturated fat per 100 g, so salt and saturated fat come from the sauce, not the pasta.

  • ProteinFine

    10.9 g per 100 g, about 8.7 g per 80 g serve.

What it doesn’t have

  • No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
