Our take
CleanPlate reviewPlain durum spaghetti with an overstated fibre claim
Disano Spaghetti Pasta is dry spaghetti made from durum wheat semolina and water. The pack is 500 g, about 5 servings of 100 g dry, and the panel is printed per 100 g dry.
CleanPlate scores it [L]CB1. The C for nutrition is middling: 12.2 g protein and 4.58 g fibre per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by durum wheat semolina), and almost no additives. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "...with a low glycemic index, low cholesterol and high levels of fiber" does not hold: fibre 4.58 g per 100 g is under 6 g and 1.30 g per 100 kcal is under 3. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 8.13 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.1 g per 100 g).

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Durum wheat semolina and water.
Per 100 g: 353 kcal, 0.44 g fat of which 0.1 g saturated, 1.11 g sugar of which 0 g added, 4.58 g fibre, 12.2 g protein, 8.13 mg sodium. The panel comes from the pack in your hands: per 100 g dry, 5 servings of 100 g. Energy matches the Atwater sum exactly (353 kcal). Sodium is 8.13 mg and cholesterol is printed as '0 g'. The earlier Blinkit card (349 kcal, 80 g serve, sodium 1.49 mg) is replaced. 'Low glycemic index' is a back-of-pack statement the panel cannot check. Net 500 g.
