This chocolate candy is primarily composed of sugar and hydrogenated palm kernel oil, contributing to very high levels of added sugar and saturated fat. The presence of hydrogenated oil is a significant concern due to its high saturated fat content, which is linked to increased risk of heart disease. Additionally, the product contains synthetic food colors, which are associated with hyperactivity in some children. While it provides a sweet treat, its nutritional profile makes it unsuitable for regular consumption, especially for children, and those monitoring their intake of sugar and saturated fats.

Ingredient Concerns safety database

Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.

Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat

A vegetable oil hardened by hydrogenation — including vanaspati / dalda. Labelled without "partially", it is in practice fully hydrogenated, and post-FSSAI-2021 vanaspati is reformulated to meet the 2% industrial-trans-fat cap — so it is treated as the modern, trans-FREE form rather than a trans-fat source, but it is high in saturated fat, which raises LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. If an oil is explicitly PARTIALLY hydrogenated it does carry industrial trans fat; either way, the product's declared trans-fat figure on the nutrition panel is the definitive check.

Decode Label Analysis

Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil is a significant source of saturated fat, which can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease.

Permitted Synthetic Food Colours are linked to hyperactivity in some children, particularly those sensitive to these additives.

The term 'Emulsifier' without specific identification (e.g., INS number) reduces transparency regarding the exact additive used.

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.
