Nutrela Soya Chunks
High-protein textured soy chunks with strong health marketing but at least one flagged independent lab test, warranting cautious use and label scrutiny.
§01 — Six-Axis Assessment
Red = warningAdded/total sugar per 100 g and the label ingredient order for Nutrela Soya Chunks are not provided in the research data, so the sugar-load threshold
Ingredient list has 2 recognisable items with no ultra-processed additives — classifies as NOVA Group 1–2.
Saturated fat and trans fat per 100 g for the specific Nutrela pack are not provided in the research data, so the fat-profile thresholds
Sodium (mg per 100 g) for the specific Nutrela pack is not provided in the research data, so the sodium threshold
The brand site makes a strong positioning claim—"India’s Best Soya Chunks Brand"—supported by celebrity representation, but the cited social-media “lab test failure” content does not provide disclosed parameters that directly contradict a specific on-pack nutrition/ingredient claim. This is flagged YELLOW as soft/promotional framing with unresolved external claims rather than a documented upheld regulatory ruling.
The research includes social-media and forum circulation of "Nutrela Soya Chunks Trustified Lab Test Failure", but no FSSAI recall/ban/court order is cited. This meets the YELLOW threshold for an unresolved controversy/pending concern without an adjudicated regulatory finding.

Defatted soy flour (textured soy protein). (Exact Nutrela pack ingredient list could not be reliably captured from available images; typical FSSAI-compliant soy chunks use defatted soy flour or grits as the sole functional ingredient.)
