§01 — Six-Axis Assessment

Red = warning
01/06Sugar loadWatch

Evidence is insufficient for a green rating because The product page is referenced, but "No added sugars declared" is not supported with a quoted ingredient/nutrition panel, so this stays at the “insufficient data” threshold (yellow).

02/06Processing tierRed

The research describes the product as NOVA Group 4 (ultra-processed) (“NOVA group 4 ultra-processed due to industrial formulation, though real chicken…”). Because another axis fails (Sodium is flagged red), this matches the rule “NOVA Group 4 AND fails any other axis” → red.

03/06Fat profileWatch

Evidence is insufficient to confirm green: there is no saturated fat/trans fat per 100g, and the oil type is not clearly disclosed in a verified ingredient list (research notes “soybean oil (likely)” and cooking method includes frying). With oil source not clearly disclosed and no fat numbers, this fits the “insufficient data / potential refined oil” concern → yellow.

04/06SodiumWatch

Evidence is insufficient for a red rating because sodium per 100g is not specified; the research only provides an estimate (“Likely 800–1200mg per 100g… based on similar frozen momos”). Without a labeled sodium value or a verifiable benchmark for this exact product, it cannot be confirmed ≥625mg/100g, so this remains at “insufficient data” (yellow).

05/06Marketing deceptionWatch

The product is marketed as having “no preservatives” and “premium ingredients”; available sources referenced do not include lab verification, and the research notes the ingredient list is inferred rather than verbatim. With claims not clearly contradicted but also not fully substantiated in the provided evidence, this fits the “soft framing / limited substantiation” threshold → yellow.

06/06Regulatory historyClear

The research states: “No FSSAI notices, recalls, ASCI violations, or lab controversies found for this product. ” With no adverse regulatory actions identified in the provided sources, this meets the clean-record threshold → green.
