What to know about True Elements Roasted Flax Seeds
Almost pure flax, with the calories to match
True Elements Roasted Flax Seeds is a 125 g pack of roasted flax seeds with one added ingredient, a natural flavouring. No percentages are declared, but the list has only two items. It is bought by people who want a seed to sprinkle on breakfast, soups and curd, or to eat as a dry snack.
A 28 g serve, which is four serves per pack, gives 138 kcal and 5.2 g protein. Per 100 g the seeds carry 18.6 g protein, 36.2 g fibre, 35.7 g fat and 0.6 g sugar, with no added sugar and only 33 mg sodium. The fat is mostly polyunsaturated, with 13.4 g omega-3 (ALA) per 100 g, and saturated fat is 3 g.
The name and the front panel make plain claims about protein, fibre and preservatives, and the list backs them up. The wider wording is looser: the pack talks about no hidden ingredients while a natural flavouring is in the list, and the fibre figure differs between two places on the pack. CleanPlate scores it CA2.
Why True Elements Roasted Flax Seeds scores CA2
Nutrition is a C on 18.6 g protein and 36.2 g fibre per 100 g, held back by few declared micronutrients. Ingredients are an A with only seeds and a natural flavouring, and risk is a 2, driven by 492 kcal per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 18.6 g
- Fibre
- 36.2 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 492 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 18.6 g per 100 g and fibre is 36.2 g, so one 28 g serve gives 5.2 g protein. The protein comes from the flax seeds themselves, a seed source rather than refined starch. Together these earn the grade.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing adds on top of protein and fibre, and the grade stops at a C.
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 two items: roasted flax seeds and a natural flavouring. That is as short and plain as a label gets, and no preservative, dye or hydrogenated fat is present.
The natural flavouring costs a single ingredient point, and no percentages are declared, but neither holds back the A. No label promise is hollow, so there is no [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk

- Saturated fat
- 3 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Energy drives the risk number: 492 kcal per 100 g is the largest part of it. Sugar is 0 g added, so it adds nothing.
Saturated fat is 3 g per 100 g, under the 5 g high line, and sodium is 33 mg per 100 g. Trans fat is 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed. The result is a 2.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
