The fine print

Sugar: Plain added sugar, the honest villain. Counted by the gram in the Clean score.
FSSAI: 7 g/100 g · 1.9 g/100 kcal, may legally print “SOURCE ONLY” via the per-100 g route. Breakfast of champions™, protein of two biscuits, and corn’s amino score (0.42) is among the weakest on this page.
