Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 3.3 ShowHide
Reviewed 2 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This litchi beverage contains a significant amount of added sugar, which is a primary nutritional concern, especially for children. While it includes some fruit pulp and juice, these are offset by the sugar content and the presence of nature-identical flavouring substances and a titanium dioxide colour. Individuals monitoring sugar intake or seeking beverages with fully natural flavouring should be cautious.

High Added Sugar with Nature-Identical Flavours and Colour
The score is held down by this product's nutrition profile, which dominates the assessment regardless of the rest of the formulation. This litchi-flavoured beverage contains a high amount of added sugar, which is a significant nutritional concern. It also includes nature-identical flavouring substances and Titanium Dioxide (INS 171), a colour classified by IARC as Group 2B when inhaled, though this concern is not relevant for ingestion. The product is suitable for healthy adults in moderation, but those monitoring sugar intake or preferring natural ingredients should be aware of these components.

Decode Label Analysis
High added sugar content is a dominant nutritional concern, particularly for regular consumption.
Contains Nature identical flavouring substances, which are synthetically produced but chemically identical to natural flavours. Consumers seeking only natural ingredients may wish to avoid.
Contains Titanium Dioxide (INS 171) as a colour. While the IARC classification as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) is primarily for inhalation exposure, some consumers prefer to avoid it in ingested products.
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.
This is a product category description and cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
Litchi pulp is listed as the second ingredient, confirming its presence.
The nutrition information shows that the product contains Vitamin C (24 mg per 100g) and Vitamin E (0.23 mg 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.

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.
