§01 — Six-Axis Assessment

Red = warning
01/06Sugar loadPending

No per-100g (or per-100ml) added-sugar/sugar value is provided in the available sources, so the sugar-load threshold

02/06Processing tierRed

The ingredients show an ultra-processed (NOVA 4) instant noodle formulation (refined wheat flour noodle block plus seasoning mix with additives like flavour enhancers E627/E631/E640 and anticaking agent E551). Because at least one other axis is not green, this meets the RED threshold (NOVA 4 + fails any other axis).

03/06Fat profileWatch

The ingredient list includes palmolein oil (and sunflower oil), indicating use of refined vegetable oils. With no saturated-fat or trans-fat numbers on a verified nutrition panel, this lands in the YELLOW threshold based on refined-oil profile rather than a quantified high-SFA/trans finding.

04/06SodiumPending

No verified sodium (mg/100g) nutrition panel is available in the provided sources, so sodium thresholds

05/06Marketing deceptionClear

No front-of-pack health claims or misleading claims contradicted by the ingredient list are evidenced in the provided sources, and no ASCI/FSSAI/NCPCR ruling is cited. Based on the brand page and retail listing sources provided, this meets the GREEN threshold for marketing-deception screening.

06/06Regulatory historyClear

No recalls, bans, court orders, or upheld adverse regulatory findings are provided in the supplied sources for this product/brand. With no adverse items surfaced in the provided research set, this is treated as a clean public record (GREEN) for this run.
