01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein, carbohydrate and fibre are all 0 g per 100 g, and fat is 99.64 g. The oil gives energy and nothing else to build a grade on.
The only micronutrient declared is vitamin K at 14.8 mcg per 100 g, about 1.5 mcg in a 10 g serve, which is too small to lift the grade.
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 one ingredient, white sesame oil. There are no additives, no flavours, no preservatives and no sweeteners, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared 0 g trans fat is accepted. The pack makes health and benefit claims, but none was found hollow, so the label carries no integrity flag.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat is 17.71 g per 100 g, more than three times the 5 g high line, and energy is 899.5 kcal per 100 g. Those two drive the top risk number. A 10 g serve has 1.8 g saturated fat and about 90 kcal.
Sugar, sodium and trans fat are all 0 g, so they add nothing. The grade reflects how concentrated the fat is, not any added ingredient.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
