Why Pintola Dark Chocolate Creamy Peanut Butter scores BC4
Nutrition is a B on 30 g protein and 7.2 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a C because of a stabiliser and flavouring, and risk is a 4 on 560.5 kcal and 6.3 g saturated fat per 100 g.
Good nutrient density

- Fibre

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 561 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 30 g per 100 g and fibre is 7.2 g, which is what lifts the grade. The largest protein contributor after peanuts is whey protein concentrate, a dairy protein, at 10% of the product.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone.
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 C
Peanuts, jaggery, whey protein concentrate and dark chocolate make a short, mostly recognisable list. There is no palm oil, no hydrogenated fat and no dye, and the declared trans fat is accepted at 0 g.
Two items cost ingredient points: the stabiliser INS 471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) and the natural flavour in the dark chocolate. No label promise is hollow, so there is no [L] 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 4
Energy is the largest driver at 560.5 kcal per 100 g, followed by saturated fat at 6.3 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line. One 32 g serve has about 2 g saturated fat.
Added sugar of 11 g per 100 g (about 3.5 g a serve) and sodium of 190.8 mg per 100 g (about 61 mg a serve) add less. Trans fat is 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

- Product nameHolds
“High Protein Peanut Butter”
Protein is 30 g per 100 g, about 9.6 g in a 32 g serve, from peanuts and whey protein concentrate.
- On the packBe careful
“No Refined Sugar”
True, as the sweetener is jaggery. It still counts as added sugar: 11 g per 100 g, about 3.5 g in a serve.
- On the packHolds
“No Preservatives”
No preservative is listed. The stabiliser INS 471 is an emulsifier, not a preservative.
- Product namePartly true
“Dark Chocolate”
Dark chocolate is a real ingredient but only 7% of the spread, made of cocoa powder, cocoa butter and natural flavour.
- On the packBe careful
“Supports Weight Management”
Protein is high, but energy is 560.5 kcal per 100 g, about 179 kcal in a 32 g serve, so portion size decides.
