Why Double Horse Rice Palada Poha scores EB2

01 Nutrition density: why E
Energy is 380 kcal per 100 g, with 89 g carbohydrate, 6 g protein and 2 g fibre. The protein comes from rice flour, so it is modest for the calories, and the fibre is low.
Only calcium is declared among minerals, at 12 mg per 100 g, and no vitamins. Nothing else adds to the grade, which is why it lands at the bottom.
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 is a single item, rice flour. There are no additives, no hydrogenated fat and no sweetener, so no ingredient points are lost.
The pack makes no promise that the list contradicts, so there is no label-integrity cost. The one gap is that no percentage is printed for the rice flour.
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
Sugar, saturated fat, trans fat and sodium are all declared as 0, so they add nothing to the risk number. The grade comes only from energy: 380 kcal per 100 g, or about 172 kcal per 45 g serve.
That energy floor puts risk at a 2. The grade would rise with a sweetened or fat-rich preparation, because those are added at home, not in the pack.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

The dessert the pack names: cook about 45 g of dry bits per serve, which gives 40 g carbohydrate before any milk or sweetener.
Lighter-sweet palada dessert
The bits carry 0 g sugar, so you can sweeten lightly and keep the bowl closer to the 172 kcal the serve starts with.
