Scores: both products fall in the Concerning band, so the small gap between them doesn't make one "safer". See each product's label findings below. Which difference matters most depends on who is eating or using it — that's your call.
A higher score means fewer or lighter concerns found under Decode Label's published rules. It is not a medical "safe", and a lower score does not establish that a product is unsafe.
Safety Score
Britannia Hi-Fibre Digestive Biscuits offer some fibre but contain refined palm oil and sugar as primary ingredients.
Safety Score
Britannia Pure Magic Choco Stars are a chocolate-flavored biscuit with refined flour, sugar, and multiple fats.
Side by side
What each label says. Nutrition is per 100 g (or ml) so pack and serving sizes don't skew it.
Check the pack for "may contain" warnings if you have an allergy.
Brands choose their own serving sizes, so compare the per-100 figures above.
"Not on file" means we have no nutrition panel for that product yet — it is a gap in our data, not a finding about the product.
What these labels can't tell us
- How much of each ingredient is in the product — labels list order, not amounts.
- Cross-contact on the factory line beyond any "may contain" warning, and batch-to-batch variation.
- Anything a laboratory test would find — Decode Label reads labels; it does not test products.
