What pulled it down
Okay nutrition cannot be rated Excellent
The box is middling. That is fine as a sometimes food. It is not everyday Excellent.
Processing sets a ceiling
This is simply processed food. Fine often. Not a keep unless the rest of the pack is honest.
An okay nutrition box
About 1.3 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. Salt is moderate. Fibre is a genuine plus. Middling — fine sometimes.
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

Vitamins and Minerals: Calcium Carbonate, Iron and Zinc (mineral nutrients), Vitamin C (sodium ascorbate), A B Vitamin (niacinamide), Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride), Vitamin A (palmitate), Vitamin B₁ (thiamin mononitrate), A B Vitamin (folic acid), Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Retinyl palmitate
Low concernVitamin A ester. Extra sun care; skip high leave-on in pregnancy.
Oats
No concernA keep. Choose certified gluten-free if you are coeliac — oats are often processed near wheat.
Salt
No concernThe nutrition box already scores it. A pinch in cooking is not a packet of noodles.
Sodium ascorbateE301
No concernLow concern. Often sits next to nitrite, which is the real story.
