Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 2.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 4 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
The score is held down by this product's nutrition profile, which dominates the assessment regardless of the rest of the formulation. This product is a processed snack food with a significant amount of added sugar and sodium, which are primary concerns for regular consumption. While it contains basic food ingredients, the combination of sugar, butter, and salt contributes to a less healthy profile, especially for children. The presence of baking soda is a neutral leavening agent, but the overall nutritional balance is skewed towards indulgence rather than health.

This product contains significant amounts of added sugar and sodium, which can contribute to an unhealthy diet if consumed regularly. While made with common ingredients like besan, butter, and milk, its formulation as a biscuit means it's best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple, particularly for children due to the sugar and salt content.

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.
