Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 4.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This bread product contains several additive classes, including emulsifiers, preservatives, acidity regulators, and antioxidants, which limits transparency and makes a full safety assessment challenging. It also contains refined wheat flour and gluten, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The presence of palm oil contributes to saturated fat content, and salt is listed high, indicating a potentially high sodium level, which should be considered for those monitoring their intake.
At a glance
From the declared label — not a lab testFindings to weigh
Contains additives; high in refined flour and potential sodium.
This bread product includes several unnamed additives like emulsifiers and preservatives, which reduces transparency. It's made primarily from refined wheat flour and contains gluten, so it's not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The presence of palm oil contributes to saturated fat, and salt is a prominent ingredient, suggesting a potentially high sodium content.
Declared allergens: Milk, Soy and Gluten
Relevant if you have any of these allergies or intolerances.
Based on the declared ingredient list. This is a risk only to people with the allergy, not a general-population safety issue, so it does not lower the safety score.

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.
Bran-O Plus is a brand name and cannot be verified from the ingredient list.
This claim refers to the manufacturing process and company, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
Milk Solids are listed in the ingredients, supporting the 'MILK BREAD' claim.
The nutrition information states that trans fat is 0g 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.

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.
