Protein Wafer
India's first protein wafer with 10g fermented yeast protein per bar, zero added sugar, but limited transparency on full nutrition and ingredient sourcing.
§01 — Six-Axis Assessment
Red = warningEvidence is insufficient to apply the ICMR-NIN/WHO numeric thresholds because grams of sugar per 100g/100ml are not disclosed in the provided sources. The brand claims “zero added sugar”, and no evidence here shows sugar in the top-5 ingredients, so this remains a green flag based on the claim, but it is not independently verifiable from the research data.
Based on the description, this is likely ultra-processed (NOVA Group 4) (wafer-format processed snack with bio-fermented yeast protein, milk solids, and flavor variants). However, the full ingredient list isn’t provided, so the NOVA classification cannot be firmly proven from disclosed additives/processing aids. Given probable NOVA-4 structure but incomplete disclosure, this is flagged yellow.
Evidence is insufficient to assess saturated fat/trans-fat thresholds because total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, and the specific oil/fat used are not disclosed in the research. No evidence of partially hydrogenated oils or trans fat >1g/100g is provided; the gap is lack of transparency on fat source typical for wafers. Therefore yellow due to unknown fat composition.
Evidence is insufficient to compare against the sodium thresholds because sodium (mg per 100g or per serving) is not disclosed in the provided sources. With no numeric sodium data, it can’t be categorized as green/yellow/red by threshold; this is marked yellow due to missing label information in the research.
The research states front-of-pack style claims including “zero added sugar”, “10g protein”, “3g fiber”, “all nine essential amino acids”, and “gut-friendly” positioning, but provides limited full nutrition/ingredients to validate the claims. No ASCI/FSSAI ruling is cited in the research. With substantiation not available in the sources, this is flagged yellow (soft/insufficiently-supported framing rather than a proven contradiction).
No recalls, bans, court orders, or adverse FSSAI/ASCI actions are provided in the research, and the research explicitly notes no significant regulatory controversies were identified. However, the research also notes limited public disclosure of license/test reports; still, absent any documented adverse action, this remains green.
