Our take
CleanPlate reviewPlain California almonds with 12.5 g fibre
Tata Sampann Pure California Almonds is whole almonds, with no ingredient list on the pack; the front says 100% pure California almonds. The panel is printed per 100 g with a 10 g serve.
CleanPlate scores it CA3. The C for nutrition is middling: 20.6 g protein and 12.5 g fibre per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by california almonds), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from calories (596 kcal per 100 g) and saturated fat (3.6 g per 100 g).

A closer look
Does the label add up?
No ingredient list is printed on the pack or in the listing; the product is taken as one ingredient, California almonds, from the front of the pack.
Per 100 g: 596 kcal, 43.8 g fat of which 3.6 g saturated, 5.5 g sugar of which 0 g added, 12.5 g fibre, 20.6 g protein, 0.6 mg sodium. The score is provisional because the ingredient list is missing; the nutrition panel is printed per 100 g and matches the listing apart from sodium (0.6 mg on the pack, 0 mg in the listing). The printed sodium %RDA does not fit 0.6 mg either, so check the pack. The pack photos show a 500 g size with the same panel; this row is the 200 g listing.
