Why Yu Durum Wheat Fusilli Pasta scores DA2

Nutrition is a D on 12.2 g protein and 3.2 g fibre per 100 g, with no vitamins declared. Ingredients are an A because the list is one item. Risk is a 2, set by energy at 356 kcal per 100 g.

Energy
356 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why D

Protein is 12.2 g per 100 g and fibre is 3.2 g, but all of the protein comes from wheat, which earns reduced credit. That keeps the grade low even though the protein is higher than in many refined-grain foods.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade.

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 one item, durum wheat semolina at 100%. There are no additives, no flavourings, no sweeteners and no hydrogenated fat, so nothing costs ingredient points.

The pack's claims match the list, so there is no label-integrity penalty either.

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

Energy is what sets the risk grade: 356 kcal per 100 g of dry pasta. Added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0.4 g and sodium is 6 mg per 100 g, so they add almost nothing.

Trans fat is declared as 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed. The grade is a 2 and stays there because of calories alone.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Ingredients to watch

  • Energy densityWorth watching

    356 kcal per 100 g of dry pasta, so the serve size is what counts. This is what sets the risk grade.

  • Fibre and micronutrientsWorth watching

    Fibre is 3.2 g per 100 g and no vitamins or minerals are declared, which holds the nutrition grade down.

  • Single ingredientFine

    Durum wheat semolina at 100%, with no additives, oil or preservatives.

  • Sodium and sugarFine

    Sodium is 6 mg and added sugar is 0 g per 100 g. Saturated fat is 0.4 g.

What it doesn’t have

  • No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
  • The pack does not say whole wheat, so the fibre stays modest.
