Why Moi Soi Hot Garlic Sauce scores CA5
Nutrition is a C because protein is small, ingredients are an A with a plain list and no penalised additives, and risk is a 5 because sodium is 1756.1 mg per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 2.8 g
- Fibre
- 7.2 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 446 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 2.8 g per 100 g, and most of it comes from the chilli paste, so the protein credit is small. Fibre is 7.2 g per 100 g, which is high for a sauce and comes from chilli, garlic and onion.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre against a very oily base.
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 A
The list is short and mostly recognisable: oil, chilli paste, red chilli, garlic, onion, tomato sauce, spices, salt and sugar. Nothing is hydrogenated, no colour or sweetener is used, and no label promise is hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The two preservatives, sodium benzoate (INS 211) and potassium sorbate (INS 202), are low-tier and carry no penalty. Ingredient percentages are not declared, but that does not hold the grade back.
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
- 4.1 g
- Sodium
- 1756.1 mg
- Saturated fat
- 3.9 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Sodium drives the risk grade: 1756.1 mg per 100 g, and 439 mg in a 25 g serve. Energy is the second contributor at 446.2 kcal per 100 g, from the 40.5 g of oil-based fat.
Saturated fat is 3.9 g per 100 g and added sugar 4.1 g, and trans fat is 0 g, so they add little next to the salt.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Moi Soi Hot Garlic Sauce?
Sunflower oil and chilli lead a short list of vegetables, spices, salt and sugar, with two mild preservatives. The salt and the oil are what to watch.
11 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern, 1 no concern.
The ingredient list, read for you
Sunflower oil leads, followed by chilli paste, red chilli, garlic, onion and tomato sauce, so the base is oil with a chilli and garlic mash. Spices and condiments, seasoning, salt and sugar round out the flavour, and sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate keep the jar stable. No ingredient percentages are declared.
The label numbers, read for you
Sodium is the number that decides the score: 1756.1 mg per 100 g, which is 439 mg in the 25 g serve printed on the pack. Fat is 40.5 g per 100 g, about 10.1 g per serve, giving 111.6 kcal.

What the additives do

Potassium Sorbate (no concern): stops mould and yeast. A widely used preservative against mould and yeast. Low toxicity. More on Potassium Sorbate.
Ingredients to watch
- Sodium Benzoate (INS 211)Fine
A preservative that stops yeast and mould growing in the acidic, oily sauce so it keeps on the shelf.
- Potassium Sorbate (INS 202)Fine
A preservative that works alongside benzoate to hold off mould in the jar.
What it doesn’t have
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- No ingredient percentages are given, so the share of garlic and chilli is unknown.
