Protein Bar (Choco Delight)
High-protein bar with zero added sugar but refined carbs and modest fiber; decent macros for post-workout but watch sodium absence in labels.
§01 — Six-Axis Assessment
Red = warningMeets the GREEN threshold because the label dataset shows 0g total sugars per 72g bar and the positioning is “zero added sugar,” implying no added sugar in the top ingredients for this SKU in the referenced listing. Evidence provided is per-bar (not per-100g added sugar), but 0g sugars indicates it is below the RED/YELLOW cutoffs (≥5–10g/100g).

Meets the YELLOW threshold because it is inferred NOVA Group 4 (ultra-processed) due to use of isolates and polyols typical of protein bars, but there isn’t evidence here that it fails another axis strongly enough to force RED under the NOVA rule. The ingredient description includes whey/soy isolates and polyols (maltitol, glycerin), consistent with an UPF formulation.

Meets the GREEN threshold because the referenced nutrition shows 2g saturated fat and 0g trans fat per 72g bar, which scales to ~2. 8g saturated fat/100g (below the 3g/100g GREEN cutoff) and no trans fat is reported. There is mention of palm kernel oil in the inferred ingredients, but without an exact verified label list in the research, the axis decision is based on the provided saturated/trans numbers.

Meets the YELLOW threshold due to insufficient evidence: sodium is not disclosed in the provided label dataset, so it can’t be verified against the 300–625mg/100g threshold. With no sodium value, the framework treats this as a transparency concern rather than GREEN.

Meets the GREEN threshold because the marketing claims cited in research (“Zero Added Sugar & 22g Protein”) are consistent with the provided nutrition (0g sugars and 22g protein per 72g bar). No rulings or enforcement actions are provided in the research for this product/claim.

Meets the GREEN threshold because the research states no FSSAI notices, recalls, or ASCI violations were found for this product, and provides no contrary regulatory event evidence in the last 10 years. Evidence is limited to absence-of-findings rather than an official registry extract.
