What’s favorable
- Mixed Spices
Processed snack with high sodium and additives
This snack contains a significant amount of sodium, which can be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. The label also lists an 'Acidity Regulator' and 'Added Flavour' without specific identification, which raises transparency concerns for consumers who prefer to know exactly what they are consuming. It is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Why the score is capped
Flavour not disclosed — the label does not say which substance this is
Rule F-CAP-13
What's good
Contains whole food ingredients like rice flakes and husked Bengal gram
Uses natural spices and herbs for flavor
Watch out for
High sodium content from iodized salt and black salt
Undisclosed 'Edible Vegetable Oil' may contribute to high saturated fat
Lack of transparency regarding specific 'Acidity Regulator' and 'Added Flavour'
Decode Label Analysis
The product contains 'Edible Vegetable Oil' without specifying the type, which can vary in saturated fat content. Consumers should check the nutrition panel for saturated fat information.
The terms 'Acidity Regulator' and 'Added Flavour' are generic and do not disclose the specific ingredients used, which is a transparency concern for consumers with sensitivities or dietary restrictions.
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 describes the product’s packaging or its category, not a testable attribute of the food itself — so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.

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.
