Why Protein Chef Rock Salt Peanuts scores CA4
Nutrition is a C on 29 g protein and 10.8 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are an A for a three-item list, and risk is a 4, driven by 602 kcal per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 29 g
- Fibre
- 10.8 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 602 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 29 g per 100 g and fibre is 10.8 g, almost all from the peanuts. In a 25 g serve that is 7.3 g protein and 2.7 g fibre.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone. Peanuts are a nut and seed source, which limits how much protein credit counts.
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 whole: peanuts at 98%, Himalayan pink salt at 1% and refined rice bran oil. There are no additives, no hydrogenated fat and no sweetener, and no label promise is hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The share of rice bran oil is not declared, which is the only gap in the list.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Saturated fat
- 7.5 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the biggest driver: 602 kcal per 100 g, 150 kcal per 25 g serve. Sodium comes next at 494 mg per 100 g, then saturated fat at 7.5 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line.
Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither adds to the risk number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
