Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 3.3 ShowHide
Reviewed 5 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This sweet product is predominantly sugar and water, with a significant amount of added sugar. While cottage cheese provides some protein, the overall nutritional profile is dominated by high sugar content, making it unsuitable for frequent consumption, especially for young children. The presence of Sodium Bisulphite, a sulphite preservative, is a concern for individuals with sulphite sensitivity or asthma, even at trace levels. Rose water is present in trace amounts, so a meaningful benefit is unlikely.

Decode Label Analysis
Contains Sodium Bisulphite (INS 222), a sulphite preservative that can trigger allergic reactions, asthma symptoms, or other sensitivities in susceptible individuals. This is a particular concern for people with asthma or known sulphite allergies.
The product is very high in added sugar (Sugar Syrup and Sugar combined make up a significant portion), which can contribute to dental issues, weight gain, and increased risk of chronic diseases if consumed in excess.
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.
The label states '25% Extra' but does not provide a baseline quantity or weight to compare against, making it impossible to verify the claim.
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.
The product name 'Rasogolla' is descriptive of the product type, which is further clarified as 'Cottage cheese ball dipped in sugar syrup' on the label.
The ingredients list 'Cottage Cheese' and 'Sugar Syrup', confirming the description of the product.
The nutrition information states 0g of trans fat 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.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.

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.
