01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 6.67 g per 100 g and fibre is 6.67 g, so a 15 g sachet gives about 1 g of each. Protein is low for the calories, which holds the grade back.
Iron (3.33 mg), calcium (66.67 mg) and potassium (333.33 mg) per 100 g add a small bonus. In a sachet these are 0.5 mg, 10 mg and 50 mg, so the bonus is modest.
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: sprouted and roasted ragi flour, jaggery powder, cocoa powder and guar gum. No colour, flavour, preservative or hydrogenated fat is present, and no label promise is hollow.
Guar gum (412) is the only additive and it costs ingredient points. The pack does not declare ingredient percentages, so the list is read in order only.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar drives the risk grade. Declared added sugar is 33.33 g per 100 g, about 5 g in a sachet, and it is by far the largest part of the risk number.
Energy at 386.67 kcal per 100 g adds a smaller part. Saturated fat (1.67 g) and sodium (33.33 mg) are low, and trans fat is 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Eat5 Instant Sprouted Ragi Malt live up to its claims?
The no colours, no flavours, no preservatives and natural claims hold against the four-item list. The jaggery and calcium claims are framed more kindly than the numbers: 5 g sugar and 10 mg calcium per sachet.

The ingredient list, read for you
