This snack offers a savoury profile with a good base of rice, pulses, and green peas. However, it contains flavour enhancers disodium guanylate (E627) and disodium inosinate (E631), which are purine sources and should be noted by individuals managing gout. The presence of added sugar and salt also warrants moderation for general health.

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
2 claims 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 nutrition information states 'added sugar g 0.3', which contradicts a 'No Added Sugar' claim.
Protein provides only 9.1% of this product’s energy, below the 20% a “high protein” claim requires. (Judged on % of energy, not % by weight.)
The label indicates '6X' but does not provide context for what this refers to (e.g., 6 times the quantity, 6 individual packs).
The claim states '50% LESS FAT' but does not provide a reference product or baseline for comparison, making it impossible to verify.
The label states 'GLUTEN FREE' but does not provide certification or further information to substantiate this claim.
This is a marketing slogan that cannot be objectively verified from the provided label information.
The label states 'NOT BAKED. NOT FRIED.' but does not specify the cooking method used, making the claim unverifiable.
The ingredients list includes spices and condiments, which can contribute to the 'Pudina Punch' flavor.
The ingredients list includes chilli powder and other spices and condiments, which can contribute to a tangy and spicy flavor.
The ingredients list includes pulses (11.4%) and green peas (7.6%), which are real veggies and pulses.
The nutrition information states 'Cholesterol 0 mg'.

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.
