01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 0 g, carbohydrate is 0 g and no fibre is declared, so nothing earns credit on the nutrition axis. Oil is 99.75 g fat per 100 g, which is energy with little else.
No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so the grade stays at the bottom of the scale.
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 a single item, first pressed and filtered sesame oil. There are no additives, no refined flour, no hydrogenated fat and no flavourings added, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No label promise is hollow. The virgin and first-pressed claims match a one-item list, so no [L] flag applies.

03 Load risk: why 5

Energy is 897.75 kcal per 100 g, 269 kcal per serve, and also adds to the risk number. Sugar, sodium and trans fat are all 0 g, so they play no part.
