Why this verdict
Red flags present. Best treated as an avoid-for-regular-use product unless the underlying evidence changes.
The issue is frequency: the red flags make this a poor default, even if rare use carries lower practical concern.
This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.
This 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.
