Council note
A treat, not a habit. The list carries an extra you would not cook with. Look one shelf over.

What pulled it down
A weak nutrition box cannot be rated Good
Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate this box. Poor at best — a treat, not a habit.
Processing sets a ceiling
This is simply processed food. Fine often. Not a keep unless the rest of the pack is honest.
A weak nutrition box
About 2 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. Salt is high. Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate.
What held it up
A quiet ingredient list
No high- or moderate-concern additives. The extras, if any, are pantry-familiar.
Also worth knowing
Simply made
Made with a few extra steps. Still recognisable as food.
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

Better neighbours
Same aisle, cleaner number. Ranked by how close the job is — not by who paid.
Ingredients
Chili, salted chili, garlic, sugar, salt, acetic acid, soybean oil.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Salt
No concernThe nutrition box already scores it. A pinch in cooking is not a packet of noodles.
Acetic acidE260
No concernIt’s vinegar. No drama.
Spice extract
No concernUsually fine. Celery extracts can matter for celery allergy.
