Aashirvaad Sambar Masala, 100g, Blended Spice for Authentic Taste and Colour
Decode Label Safety Score
Score limited by
No nutrition panel — sugar, fat and salt could not be checked
No lane-by-lane breakdown: the label doesn't carry what the lanes are scored from.
This spice blend is primarily composed of various spices and dals, offering a flavorful base for cooking. The main concern is the lack of a nutrition panel, which prevents a full assessment of its sodium, sugar, and fat content per serving. While spices themselves are generally beneficial, the presence of iodized salt and refined sunflower oil means these values are important for those monitoring their intake. It is generally suitable for most adults when used in typical serving sizes, but individuals on sodium-restricted diets should be cautious due to the likely salt content in a spice mix.

Flavorful spice blend; nutrition panel missing for full assessment
This spice blend offers a rich mix of spices and lentils. However, the absence of a nutrition panel means we cannot fully assess its sodium, sugar, and fat content, which is a key factor for dietary management. It's generally suitable for most, but those watching their salt intake should be mindful.
Declared allergens: Mustard
Relevant if you have this allergy or intolerance.
Based on the declared ingredient list. This is a risk only to people with the allergy, not a general-population safety issue, so it does not lower the safety score.

Decode Label Analysis
No nutrition panel was provided, so the exact amounts of sodium, saturated fat, and sugar per serving cannot be assessed. This limits the ability to provide a complete nutritional safety profile, especially for individuals with dietary restrictions.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The claim 'Aroma Locked' refers to a processing or packaging method that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or other provided label information.
The claim 'Authentic Taste and Colour' is subjective and cannot be verified from the ingredient list or other provided label information.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
