01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 1.2 g per 100 ml and energy is 20 kcal, so the macro side adds little. Calcium at 52 mg per 100 ml (140 mg per 270 ml pack) is what lifts the grade.
Fat is 1.2 g per 100 ml, of which 0.8 g is saturated; sugar is 1.2 g and all of it is natural to the milk.
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.
