Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This sweet product is primarily composed of sugar syrup, making it very high in added sugars. While it contains milk solids and refined wheat flour, the undisclosed 'Flavour' ingredient raises transparency concerns as the specific substance is not identified. Individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease should avoid this product due to the presence of refined wheat flour. The high sugar content makes it unsuitable for regular consumption, especially for young children, and contributes to a lower nutritional score.

Wheat Flour
Wheat and wheat-derived ingredients contain gluten, which triggers an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease, causing intestinal damage. People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or wheat allergy must also avoid this ingredient. Labelled as a major allergen by FSSAI.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI Food Labelling Regulations; Celiac Disease Foundation

Refined wheat flour contains gluten, which is a declarable allergen and unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
The product is very high in added sugar (Sugar Syrup is the primary ingredient), contributing to high caloric intake with minimal nutritional benefits. Excessive sugar consumption is linked to various health issues.

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.
