Our take

CleanPlate review

Rice bran oil: 31 g saturated fat

Fortune Rice Bran Oil is an 870 g pack of physically refined rice bran oil, with TBHQ and citric acid as antioxidants, an anti-foaming agent and added vitamins A and D. The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it [F]CC5. The C for nutrition is middling: modest protein, fibre and micronutrients per 100 g. The [F] marks that added vitamin A and vitamin D lift the grade; without them it would be E. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by physically refined rice bran oil), with additives that cost points: TBHQ and polydimethylsiloxane. The 5 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (31 g per 100 g) and calories (900 kcal per 100 g).

Per 100 g: 900 kcal, 100 g fat of which 31 g saturated, 0 g sugar of which 0 g added, 0 g protein, 0 mg sodium. Trans fat is printed as 2 g per 100 g and is counted.
