No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade. The noodles are mostly carbohydrate, at 77 g per 100 g.
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.
