Flavorful garlic pickle with natural ingredients, but contains an additive.
This garlic pickle is primarily made of garlic and a blend of common spices, with extra virgin olive oil as a base. While generally a good choice for adding flavor, it contains an acidity regulator that is not specifically identified, which may be a concern for individuals sensitive to food additives. When consumed in small, typical serving sizes, its nutritional impact is minor.
Declared allergens: Mustard

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.

Claim check
1 claim not supported by label dataFront-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 product name claims it is 'Made in 100% Olive Oil', but the ingredient list specifies 'Extra Virgin Olive Oil', which is a type of olive oil, not necessarily 100% of all oils or liquids in the product.
Garlic is the first ingredient listed, confirming it is a primary component of the pickle.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is listed as the second ingredient, confirming the pickle is in olive oil.
The nutrition information states 0 mg of cholesterol per 100g.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

Colour shows the per-100g level (green = low, amber = moderate, red = high), from the product's label. This is a condiment — used by the pinch or the spoonful, not eaten by the plate — so a red row here means the product is dense in that nutrient, not that a serving of it is. The score judges its nutrition on what a 15 g serving actually delivers.

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.
