Potato Popped Chips Pasta Cheese Flavour
Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 5.7 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack product is primarily potato-based, with rice bran oil and a seasoning blend. The main nutritional concerns stem from the seasoning, which contributes to high levels of sodium and added sugar. The presence of flavour enhancer Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides (635) and acidity regulators Citric Acid (330) and Lactic Acid (270) are common in processed snacks. While the product is generally safe for healthy adults in moderation, its high sodium and sugar content, along with the presence of certain additives, make it less suitable for young children and individuals monitoring their intake of these nutrients.

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.
