Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This potato-based snack is primarily made of dried potato, offering a simple base. However, it contains several common food additives, including flavour enhancers disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate, which are purine sources and should be noted by individuals managing gout. The presence of silicon dioxide as an anticaking agent and citric acid as an acidity regulator are generally considered safe in food applications. While the product is broadly suitable for most adults, those with specific dietary restrictions or sensitivities to purine-rich foods should exercise caution.

Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.
Disodium Ribonucleotides (E635)
E635 is a mixture of disodium inosinate (E631) and disodium guanylate (E627). Both are purine nucleotides, which the body breaks down to uric acid. People with gout or hyperuricaemia, or who have been advised to limit purines, may wish to limit foods containing it. The amounts used in foods are small, so the concern applies to people already managing uric acid rather than to the general population.

Claim check
1 claim not supported by label dataFront-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 '60% LESS FAT*' but does not provide a comparison value or a reference product to verify this claim.
The label states 'NOT BAKED. NOT FRIED.' but there is no information on the label to confirm the cooking method.
The claim 'ZINGY & TANGY' describes a taste profile which cannot be objectively verified from the provided label information.
The ingredient list does not contain palm oil; it lists rice bran oil as the oil used.
The nutrition information states that the product contains 0 mg of cholesterol per serving.

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.
