Hazelnut Chocolate Laddoos
No-added-sugar dry fruit laddoos with dates (49%), nuts, and cacao; moderate calorie density at 494kcal/100g but high natural sugars from dates.
§01 — Six-Axis Assessment
Red = warningThis hits the YELLOW threshold because it has 20g total sugars per 100g (from dates) even though it is labeled as no added sugar. The ingredients also show Dates (49%) as the primary sweetening base, so portion size can add up quickly.
Flagged YELLOW because the research classifies it as NOVA Group 3 (processed foods): dates and nuts are processed into uniform laddoos with cacao and vanilla extract. It is not presented with typical ultra-processed additives (e. g. , emulsifiers), so it is not treated as NOVA 4 here.
Flagged RED because the nutrition provided lists 18g saturated fat per 100g, which exceeds the >5g/100g solid-food RED threshold. Even if fats are nut-derived and trans fat is listed as 0g, the saturated fat amount triggers the RED cutoff.
Flagged GREEN because sodium is 43mg per 100g, far below the 300mg/100g YELLOW threshold. Salt is only listed as sea salt, consistent with very low sodium.
Flagged GREEN because the front claims cited in research (e. g. , “No added sugar”) align with the ingredient list showing sweetness coming from dates and no added sugar ingredient listed. No active ASCI/FSSAI rulings were provided in the research dataset.
Flagged GREEN because the research summary reports no FSSAI notices, recalls, or ASCI rulings for this product/brand within the last 10 years. No contrary regulatory event was included in the provided timeline or sources.
