Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 4 g

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 83 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 4 g per 100 g of prepared soup and 6 g per bowl, and fibre is 4 g per 100 g and 6 g per bowl. Most of the protein comes from the whole wheat flour in the noodles.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, 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 short and made of recognisable foods: whole wheat flour, aromatics, soy sauce, sunflower oil and vegetables. No additive is listed and no hydrogenated fat, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No percentages are declared, but the name does not lean on one ingredient, so there is no label penalty and the pack claims check out.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 1 g
- Sodium
- 201.3 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium and energy carry the risk number almost equally: 201 mg sodium and 83 kcal per 100 g of prepared soup. Together they land on a 2.
Saturated fat is 1 g and added sugar 1 g per 100 g, and trans fat is 0 g, so they add little.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
