Why Tata Simply Better Cold Pressed Sesame Oil scores EB5
Nutrition is an E because oil has no protein, fibre or sugar to give, only fat. Ingredients are a B for a one-item list, and risk is a 5 on 897 kcal and 17.2 g saturated fat per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Vitamin E
- Energy
- 897 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
There is nothing for the nutrition grade to count: protein is 0 g, carbohydrate 0 g and fibre is not declared. The only extra is vitamin E at 2.1 mg per 100 g.
The 897 kcal per 100 g come entirely from fat, so the grade rests on a food with no protein, fibre or minerals declared. That is typical of any oil and not a flaw of this one.
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 one item, 100% cold pressed sesame oil, with no additive, no preservative, no flavour and no hydrogenated fat. Nothing costs ingredient points.
The pack's promises are consistent with the list, so no label points are lost. The declared trans fat of 0.1 g per 100 g is accepted, as no hydrogenated fat is listed.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk
- Added sugar

- Sodium
- 0.5 mg
- Saturated fat
- 17.2 g
- Trans fat
- 0.1 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat is 17.2 g per 100 g, more than three times the 5 g high line. Energy is the other driver at 897 kcal per 100 g. Together they put risk at the top grade.
Sugar is 0 g and sodium is 0.5 mg, so neither plays a part. Per serve of 2 teaspoons (about 9.1 g) saturated fat is 1.6 g and energy is about 82 kcal, so the grade reflects density more than a typical serve.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What to know about Tata Simply Better Cold Pressed Sesame Oil
One clean ingredient, and pure fat
A 500 ml bottle of unrefined sesame oil with one ingredient on the label: 100% cold pressed sesame oil. It is sold to home cooks who want the nutty aroma of sesame for tempering, sautéing and frying, and who prefer an oil that is pressed rather than refined. The pack says it is fit for raw use too.
As an oil it is almost all fat: 99.7 g per 100 g, with 897 kcal, 17.2 g saturated fat and 0.1 g trans fat. There is no protein, carbohydrate, sugar or fibre, and sodium is 0.5 mg. A serve of 2 teaspoons (about 9.1 g) has about 82 kcal and 1.6 g saturated fat. Vitamin E is declared at 2.1 mg per 100 g.
The front claims pure and unrefined, cold pressed and hexane free, and the one-line ingredient list fits all three. The claims about omega 6, PUFA and cholesterol are true of the type of oil but say little about this bottle, since no PUFA figure is printed. CleanPlate scores it EB5.
