Reviewed 1 time · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack product is generally suitable for most adults, offering a convenient option with a base of rice, pulses, and green peas. However, individuals managing gout should be aware of the disodium ribonucleotides (E627, E631) which are purine sources. The presence of added sugar and salt means it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

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.
Protein provides only 9% of this product’s energy, below the 20% a “high protein” claim requires. (Judged on % of energy, not % by weight.)
The claim states '50% less fat' but does not provide a reference product or baseline for comparison, so it cannot be verified.
This is a marketing slogan and cannot be objectively verified from the label information.
This describes a sensory attribute that cannot be objectively verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The label states the product is 'not baked, not fried', but it does not specify the cooking method used, so this claim cannot be fully verified.
The ingredients list rice and pulses, which are naturally gluten-free, and no gluten-containing ingredients are listed.
The ingredients list tomato solids and spices and condiments, which are consistent with a jalapeno and tomato flavor.
The ingredients list pulses and green peas, which are real veggies and pulses.
The primary ingredient is rice, supporting the 'Rice' part of the claim. The 'Popped Chips' refers to the product form and preparation method, which is consistent with the product image.
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.
