Why Fulva Tender Coconut Halwa scores EB5

Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 1 g
- Fibre
- 2 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- Iron, Calcium, Potassium
- Energy
- 430 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is only 1 g per 100 g and fibre 2 g, so there is almost nothing for the grade to build on. The largest protein source is corn flour, a refined starch, and the protein factor is held at 0.5.
Iron is 0.6 mg, potassium 90 mg and calcium 0 mg per 100 g, too little to earn micronutrient credit. The calories come mainly from sugar, starch and sunflower oil.
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.

- None
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and plain: corn flour, refined sugar, sunflower oil, water, coconut flakes, vanilla flavouring and citric acid. There is no maida, palm oil, hydrogenated fat or preservative, which keeps the grade high.
The vanilla flavouring has no class stated, which costs ingredient points, and citric acid costs none. Naming coconut on the pack without declaring its percentage also costs a small label point.
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
- 63 g
- Sodium
- 5 mg
- Saturated fat
- 6 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Added sugar is the main driver: 63 g per 100 g, about 32 g in a 50 g serve. It makes up most of the risk score by itself, which is why the risk number is a 5.
Saturated fat adds to it at 6 g per 100 g, about 3 g per serve, and energy is 430 kcal per 100 g. Sodium is only 5 mg and trans fat is 0 g, so neither plays a part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Corn flour leads, then refined sugar and sunflower oil, so the halwa is mostly starch, sugar and fat. Water binds it, tender coconut flakes give the flavour named on the pack, and no share is declared for them. Vanilla flavouring rounds out the taste, and citric acid (INS 330) is the acidity regulator.
Not in our additive research yet: Citric Acid (INS 330, Acidity Regulator).
Ingredients to watch
- Added sugarConcern
63 g per 100 g, about 32 g in a 50 g serve. It is the main reason risk is at its highest.
