This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.

Sugar load

Green threshold: <5g sugar per 100g and no added sugar in top-5. Evidence provided indicates “<1g” sugars (typical quinoa) and the only ingredient listed is “Roasted Quinoa,” with no sugar ingredient present (brand page).

Processing tier

Green threshold: NOVA Group 1–2. Evidence describes the product as “Roasted Quinoa” with no other ingredients/additives, aligning to an unprocessed/minimally processed grain (NOVA Group 1).

Fat profile

Green threshold: sat fat <3g/100g, no trans fat, and no added hydrogenated/refined oils. Evidence provided states no palm oil/hydrogenated fats/refined oils added and ingredient list is only roasted quinoa (brand page); no trans fat or high SFA numbers are provided.

Sodium

Green threshold: below 300mg sodium per 100g. Evidence provided indicates “<5mg” sodium (typical quinoa) and no salt added (brand page), far below the yellow/red thresholds.

Marketing deception

Green threshold: claims align with composition and no active rulings. Evidence provided says claims like “100% natural, gluten-free” match a single-ingredient quinoa product and that no ASCI/FSSAI violations were found for this product; however, no primary ruling/complaint documents are cited beyond the brand page.

Regulatory history

Green threshold: clean public record. Evidence provided reports no FSSAI notices, recalls, court cases, or lab findings specific to this product were identified; no primary regulatory sources are included in the research beyond the brand page.
