01 Nutrition density: why C
Fibre is 10 g per 100 g and protein is 10 g, both strong for a bread. A 33 g serve gives 3.3 g of each.
The grade stops at C because the loaf declares no vitamins or minerals and its carbohydrate is 49 g per 100 g.
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 led by whole wheat flour. Vinegar, sunflower oil, sugar, iodised salt and gluten are the other building blocks, and none of them costs points.
The only point cost is the flour treatment agent (an amylase enzyme, INS 1100). Sourdough (3%) is treated as a culture.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium is the main part at 425 mg per 100 g (140 mg per 33 g serve). Added sugar is 1 g, saturated fat is 0.3 g and trans fat is declared as 0.
