Weak nutrition · Ultra-processed · per 100 g
Weak nutrition and a factory recipe. Fine as a rare treat — not as a habit.
Better than most of Condiments — 19 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 — 19 of 33 sit at or below this number.

The nutrition box is the limit. A kinder ingredient list cannot talk this pack into Good.
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.
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.
A weak nutrition box
Sugars are modest. Salt is moderate. Fat is high. Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate.
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
Rapeseed oil (78%), water, pasteurised free range egg & egg yolk (8.9%), spirit vinegar, sugar, salt, lemon juice, flavourings, antioxidant, paprika extract.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Sunflower oil
No concernA reasonable everyday oil. Not as interesting as olive, calmer than palm.
Egg
No concernA common allergen. Also not vegan.
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.
Xanthan gumE415
No concernWell tolerated except in very high doses.
