This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.

Sugar load
■ Don't eat trigger

Meets the RED threshold because **sugars are ~10. 8–11.

43g per 100g (≥10g/100g for solids). Ingredients also include powdered sugar**, indicating added sugar.

Evidence source: swadesh. eu nutrition/ingredients listing.

Processing tier
■ Don't eat trigger

Classified as NOVA Group 4 (ultra-processed) based on being an industrial namkeen mix made with refined oils and additives (e. g.

, citric acid) plus added sugar; it also fails other axes (Sugar load is red; Fat profile is red), triggering the RED processing-tier rule. Evidence source: haldiramuk.

Fat profile

Insufficient evidence for the RED/YELLOW thresholds for fat profile under v1: total fat is 26. 4g/100g, but saturated fat per 100g and trans fat values are not provided, and no partially-hydrogenated oils are listed.

Oils are disclosed (palmolein/cottonseed/corn), but without SFA/TFA we cannot assess against >5g SFA/100g or trans-fat thresholds.

Sodium
■ Think twice trigger

Meets the YELLOW threshold because **salt is 1. 07–1.

3g/100g, approximately 440–520mg sodium/100g**, which falls in the 300–625mg/100g range. Evidence source: swadesh.
