What to know about Disano Fusilli Pasta
One ingredient, 349 kcal and 11.5 g protein
Disano Fusilli Pasta is dry spiral pasta made from one ingredient, durum wheat semolina. It comes as a buy-one-get-one pack of two 400 g bags, and it is bought as a plain, quick-cooking staple (12 minutes on the pack) for weeknight meals, pasta salads and children's plates.
Per 100 g dry, it has 349 kcal, 11.5 g protein, 7 g fibre, 76 g carbohydrate, 3.8 g natural sugar and 0.32 g fat. An 80 g dry serve, which gives about five servings per 400 g bag, comes to roughly 279 kcal, 9.2 g protein and 5.6 g fibre. Sodium is almost nil at 1.49 mg per 100 g, and there is no added sugar, no cholesterol and no trans fat.
The front says 100% durum wheat semolina, and the ingredient line agrees, though it prints no percentage. The listing's no-maida point also holds, since semolina is the only ingredient. The softer back-of-pack lines on glycemic index and fibre need a closer look. CleanPlate scores it CA2.
Why Disano Fusilli Pasta scores CA2
Nutrition is a C on 11.5 g protein and 7 g fibre per 100 g, with no vitamins declared. Ingredients are an A for a single plain ingredient, and risk is a 2, driven only by 349 kcal per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 11.5 g per 100 g and fibre is 7 g, which is 9.2 g protein and 5.6 g fibre in an 80 g dry serve. The protein comes from wheat, so it earns only partial credit.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade. Natural sugar is 3.8 g per 100 g and added sugar is 0 g.
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 ingredient, durum wheat semolina, so there are no additives, no hydrogenated fat, no flavours and no colours to cost ingredient points. No percentage is printed, but with a single ingredient it has to be the whole product.
The front claims are plain and match the list, and none is hollow. Nothing here costs ingredient points.
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 whole of the risk number: 349 kcal per 100 g, about 279 kcal per 80 g dry serve. That lands on a 2.
Saturated fat is 0.18 g per 100 g, sodium is 1.49 mg and added sugar is 0 g, so none of them play a part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
