What to know about Yu 100% Whole Wheat Spaghetti Pasta
Just whole wheat and water, with 8 g fibre
A 500 g pack of dry spaghetti made from 100% whole wheat flour and water, cut with bronze dies and sold as a quick weeknight pasta for people who want to move away from refined flour. No other ingredient is listed.
Per 100 g of dry pasta you get 375 kcal, 12 g protein, 72 g carbohydrate and 8 g fibre. Total sugar is 4.2 g with no added sugar, fat is 1 g (0.3 g saturated) and sodium is only 3.4 mg. The pack prints its serve as 100 g, so that is also what one serve holds.
The front makes many promises: whole wheat, high fibre, zero oil, no maida, no preservatives. The ingredient list backs each of them. The one loose end is that the retailer page mentions durum wheat, which the pack's ingredient text does not. CleanPlate scores it CA2.
Why Yu 100% Whole Wheat Spaghetti Pasta scores CA2
Nutrition is a C because 12 g protein and 8 g fibre per 100 g are held back by 375 kcal. Ingredients are an A with no additives, and risk is a 2, driven by energy alone.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 12 g
- Fibre
- 8 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 375 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 12 g per 100 g, about 13% of the calories, and fibre is 8 g. All of it comes from the wheat itself. That earns a middle grade, not a high one, because the protein is modest for the 375 kcal it sits in.
No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone.
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 whole wheat flour and water, nothing else. There are no additives, no oil, no sweetener, no flavouring and no preservative, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The front claims are matched by the list, so no label point is lost either. This is the top grade.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 3.4 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.3 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Energy is the only part of the risk number: 375 kcal per 100 g of dry pasta. Added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0.3 g and sodium is 3.4 mg, all close to nothing.
That lands on a 2. The figure is for dry pasta, and the sauce you add will change the meal more than the spaghetti does.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
