§01 — Six-Axis Assessment

Red = warning
01/06Sugar loadClear

The pack label lists 0. 7 g[2] sugar per 100g, which is below the watch threshold (<5g/100g).

02/06Processing tierWatch

Ingredient list has 11 items with no detectable ultra-processed additives — classifies as NOVA Group 3 (processed). v1 watch range.

03/06Fat profilePending

A label value for saturated fat (g/100 g) and trans fat (g/100 g) is missing, and there is no evidence of partially-hydrogenated oils in the provided ingredient list. Without saturated/trans-fat numbers, the fat-profile thresholds cannot be scored.

04/06SodiumPending

A numeric sodium (mg/100 g) value is not provided from the label or a reliable listing. Without sodium data, the sodium threshold cannot be scored.

05/06Marketing deceptionClear

Accessible descriptions focus on taste (e. g. , “iconic taste… crunchiest, most flavorful snack”) and do not make health claims. With no contradictory front-of-pack health positioning evidenced in the provided sources, this meets the GREEN criterion of claims aligning with composition / no deceptive claims observed.

06/06Regulatory historyClear

No FSSAI recalls/notices, ASCI upheld complaints, NCPCR actions, or court matters are provided for this product in the research packet. Based on the absence of documented adverse findings in the supplied sources, this is scored GREEN.
