- None declared

01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 6.4 g per 100 g and fibre 3.1 g, which is a small gain from the nuts and cocoa in the chocolate. Energy is 326.4 kcal per 100 g, 91.4 kcal in one 28 g fudge.

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 short and whole-food led: dates, dark chocolate, almond butter, hazelnuts, raw khandsari and sea salt, with no additives. That earns a strong base.
The refined-sugar-free claim costs ingredient points, because unrefined cane sugar in the chocolate and raw khandsari are both free-sugar ingredients.
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
Sugar is the biggest driver of the risk number: 10.7 g free sugar per 100 g, about 3.0 g in one fudge. Sodium at 142.5 mg per 100 g and energy add smaller parts.
Saturated fat is declared as 0 g and trans fat as 0 g, so they play no part. The risk grade lands on a 2.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
