This sweet treat is primarily composed of refined flour and sugar, contributing significantly to its calorie and sugar content. While ingredients like ghee and milk powder offer some nutritional value, the high sugar content makes it unsuitable for frequent consumption, especially for young children. Individuals managing blood sugar levels or watching their caloric intake should consume this product in strict moderation.

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 term 'luxurious' is subjective and cannot be objectively verified from the provided label information.
The claim 'Handcrafted' refers to the manufacturing process, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The number '1951' likely refers to the year the company was established or a recipe originated, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The product name clearly identifies it as Mysore Pak, and the ingredients are consistent with this type of sweet.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
