It is sold as a party and everyday dip in a roasted garlic and dill flavour, to people who want a ready-made vegan dip. The pack declares no percentages for any ingredient.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 6.75 g per 100 g, about 7.5% of the calories, and about 2 g in a 30 g serve. It comes mainly from chickpea and tahini. Carbohydrate is 19.75 g and sugar is 0 g.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing adds to the grade beyond the protein. That leaves the nutrition grade at the bottom.
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.

- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat is the biggest driver: 4.64 g per 100 g, just under the 5 g high line, and 1.4 g in a 30 g serve. Sodium (208 mg per 100 g) and energy (359 kcal per 100 g) add smaller parts.
