What to know about Fortune Filtered Groundnut Oil
Pure fat, with vitamins A and D added
Fortune Filtered Groundnut Oil is an 870 g pack of refined-looking cooking oil with a very short list: groundnut oil, vitamin A and vitamin D. No percentages are declared. It is bought as an everyday oil for Indian home cooking, and the pack leans on 25 years of ghar ka khana.
Like any oil it is fat and nothing else: 900 kcal and 100 g fat per 100 g, with no protein, carbohydrate, sugar or sodium. Of that fat, 33 g is saturated, and the panel declares 1 g of trans fat. The pack prints a serve of one tablespoon (15 ml, 13.65 g), which gives 123 kcal and 4.5 g saturated fat. The panel also lists at least 36 g monounsaturated and 12 g polyunsaturated fat per 100 g.
The pack says filtered groundnut oil, and the list agrees: nothing else is in it but the two added vitamins. The vitamin fortification is real and is the only thing that lifts the nutrition grade. The saturated fat, the trans fat and the sheer calorie density set the risk grade. CleanPlate scores it [F]CB5.
Why Fortune Filtered Groundnut Oil scores [F]CB5
Nutrition is a C only because of added vitamins A and D, as the oil has no protein or fibre. Ingredients are a B for a short, clean list. Risk is a 5 on 33 g saturated fat and 900 kcal per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 0 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Vitamin A, Vitamin D
- Energy
- 900 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
The core of the grade is zero: there is no protein, no fibre and no sugar to score, and the oil is 900 kcal per 100 g. The grade of C comes entirely from the added vitamins A and D, which bring a micronutrient bonus.
Without that fortification the grade would be an E. The vitamins are real, but they are the only thing holding the grade up.
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 groundnut oil, vitamin A and vitamin D. There are no additives, no flavours, no colours and no hydrogenated fat listed, so the declared trans fat is accepted as stated.
Nothing on the label is hollow, so there is no label-integrity penalty. The list gives no percentages, but with so few ingredients that matters little.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 0 mg
- Saturated fat
- 33 g
- Trans fat
- 1 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat is the biggest driver at 33 g per 100 g, well above the 5 g high line. Energy at 900 kcal per 100 g adds a second large part, and the declared 1 g of trans fat per 100 g adds a third.
Sugar and sodium are both 0, so they play no part. The grade of 5 is about the fat load: one tablespoon has 4.5 g saturated fat, roughly a fifth of the 22 g daily reference printed on the pack.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.
