Low-processed makhana snack roasted in olive oil; gluten/MSG-free with moderate fat from oil but no added sugar or high sodium flags.
§01 — Six-Axis Assessment
Red = warningGreen threshold (<5g/100g added sugar; no added sugar in top-5). Evidence is ingredient list showing no sugar/sweeteners listed at all (only makhana, olive oil, spices & condiments), so no indication of added sugars in top ingredients.
Yellow threshold (NOVA Group 3, or NOVA Group 4 with otherwise clean composition). Evidence indicates roasted makhana with added olive oil (18%) and spices/condiments (10%), which fits a processed (not ultra-processed) snack profile rather than NOVA 1–2 whole food.
Yellow threshold (single-source refined oil marketed as premium/natural/healthy, or sat fat 3–5g/100g). Evidence: product is roasted in olive oil (18%); there is no label evidence provided for saturated fat grams or trans fat, so cannot confirm green. No partially hydrogenated oil is listed.
Yellow used due to insufficient quantified sodium data. Ingredient list includes "Spices & Condiments" (which commonly include salt/sodium-containing seasonings), but no per-100g sodium/mg values are provided to confirm green (<300 mg/100g) or red (≥625 mg/100g).
Green threshold (claims align with composition; no active rulings). Evidence provided: "All Mr. Makhana flavours are also GLUTEN and MSG FREE" and the ingredient list does not show MSG or gluten-containing grains; no contrary nutrition/ingredient evidence is given.
Green threshold (clean public record), but evidence is limited to the research statement and no primary regulatory documents are included. Based on provided sources, no recalls/ban/court order/ASCI ruling is presented for the product/brand.
