Low nutrition · Ultra-processed · per 100 g
Ultra-processed — built with extras a kitchen wouldn’t use. Better as a rare treat, not a Good rating.
Better than most of Condiments — 25 of 33 sit at or below this number.
Council note
Ultra-processed — flavours, extras, a list a kitchen would not write. A dietitian would not make this a weekday habit. Better than most of Condiments — 25 of 33 sit at or below this number.

Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good. A factory recipe is a treat, not a habit.
What pulled it down
This nutrition box cannot be rated Excellent
This is a treat pattern. It can only scrape into low Good if the list is clean and it is not ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good
A factory recipe — flavours, colours, or many additives — cannot be rated Good. A sometimes treat, not a daily habit.
Two red lights on the box cannot be rated Good
Two red lights on salt, sugar or saturated fat keep this at Poor, not Good.
A weak-ish nutrition box
About 5.7 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. Salt is high. A treat pattern.
Ultra-processed
Built in a factory with additives, flavours, or refined extras. A growing pile of research ties a diet of these to poorer health — not because one biscuit is poison, but because the pattern crowds out real food.
What held it up
A quiet ingredient list
No high- or moderate-concern additives. The extras, if any, are pantry-familiar.
Nutrition is half the number. Ingredients a quarter. How processed a fifth. Organic is a small bonus — it cannot rescue a sugary drink or a nitrite ham. How this compares to Nutri-Score

Ingredients
Tomato concentrate, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Tomato
No concernA keep. Ketchup adds sugar; passata does not.
Acetic acidE260
No concernIt’s vinegar. No drama.
Salt
No concernThe nutrition box already scores it. A pinch in cooking is not a packet of noodles.
Spice extract
No concernUsually fine. Celery extracts can matter for celery allergy.
