Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 7 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This product is a highly processed snack food with significant health concerns, primarily due to the presence of hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are sources of industrial trans fats, and a caramel color (E150c/d) that is classified by IARC as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen. It is also very high in saturated fat and added sugars, making it unsuitable for regular consumption, especially for children. While it contains trace amounts of cocoa solids and cocoa butter, these are not present in sufficient quantities to offer any meaningful nutritional benefit.
At a glance
From the declared label — not a lab testFindings to weigh
Contains IARC 2B carcinogen, trans fats, high sugar and saturated fat.
This product contains hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are a modified (interesterified or hydrogenated) vegetable fat that does not yield a measurable amount in this product — the nutrition panel declares 0 g, though this fat class remains under research, and a caramel color (E150c/d) linked to a possible human carcinogen. It is also high in saturated fat and added sugars, making it an unhealthy choice, particularly for children and individuals with cardiovascular concerns.
Consider this product carefully if you are
- Looking for a lower-sugar option — Added sugar is 31.8 g per 100 g.
- Avoiding certain additives or colours — Refined Palm Oil and Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil are declared.
Declared allergens: Milk 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.
Concern breakdown
Score out of 10 · higher = fewer concernsHow this product performs on each concern we check for food. This is a breakdown of the same evidence behind the score above — not a separate verdict.
Saturated fat 14.5 g · trans fat 0 g per 100 g/ml
Infants under 1
AvoidContains added sugar, which is not recommended for infants under 1 year of age.
Toddlers & young children (1–5)
AvoidThis product is high in added sugars and saturated fats, which are not recommended for young children due to their impact on dental health, weight, and long-term metabolic health.
The presence of an IARC Group 2B possible carcinogen (if the 'Colour' is ammonia caramel E150c/d) and industrial trans fats makes this product unsuitable for young children.
Why the score is capped
Contains ammonia caramel colour (E150c/d) — which can generate 4-MEI during manufacture — IARC classifies 4-MEI as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans); this label does not state its concentration
Rule F-CAP-10 · Source: IARC / EFSA classification of the additive
Highly processed (NOVA) and high in sugar
Rule F-CAP-07
Very high saturated fat
Rule F-CAP-08
Watch out for
High saturated fat content from multiple sources.
High added sugar content from various forms of sugar.
Presence of refined wheat flour, offering limited nutritional benefits.
Use of generic 'Emulsifier' and 'Nature identical flavouring substances' reduces transparency.
Colour — if this refers to ammonia caramel (E150c/d), its 4-MEI by-product is classified by IARC as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen.
Fractionated Fat — industrially modified fat — the label does not say which fraction, or from which oil.
Ingredient Concerns safety database
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.
Palm Oil
Palm oil is very high in saturated fatty acids (~50%), which raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. Refined palm oil can also carry processing contaminants (glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters), which EFSA assessed in 2016.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO; Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; EFSA CONTAM opinion (2016)
Palm Oil: regulation, sources and other products →Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat
A vegetable oil hardened by hydrogenation — including vanaspati / dalda. Labelled without "partially", it is in practice fully hydrogenated, and post-FSSAI-2021 vanaspati is reformulated to meet the 2% industrial-trans-fat cap — so it is treated as the modern, trans-FREE form rather than a trans-fat source, but it is high in saturated fat, which raises LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. If an oil is explicitly PARTIALLY hydrogenated it does carry industrial trans fat; either way, the product's declared trans-fat figure on the nutrition panel is the definitive check.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO; FSSAI Trans Fatty Acids Regulation 2021; EFSA
Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat: regulation, sources and other products →Fractionated Fat
Fractionation splits a fat into parts by melting point: a solid "stearin" fraction and a liquid "olein" one. It creates no trans fat. But the two fractions differ sharply — stearin is MORE saturated than the oil it came from, olein less — so an unqualified "fractionated fat" leaves both the source oil and the fraction undeclared, and with them the saturated-fat profile. In Indian packaged food it is most often palm-derived. Where the nutrition panel states saturated fat, that measured figure is the reliable number, not the ingredient name.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards) Regulations — fats and oils; WHO saturated fat intake guideline (2023)
Fractionated Fat: regulation, sources and other products →Wheat Flour
Wheat and wheat-derived ingredients contain gluten, which triggers an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease, causing intestinal damage. People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or wheat allergy must also avoid this ingredient. Labelled as a major allergen by FSSAI.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI Food Labelling Regulations; Celiac Disease Foundation
Wheat Flour: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil and Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat, which are sources of industrial trans fats, strongly linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
High in saturated fat from Refined Palm Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, and Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat, contributing to cardiovascular risk.
High in added sugars (Sugar, Invert Sugar Syrup, Dextrose), contributing to dental caries, weight gain, and increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
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.
The ingredients list dark chocochips, milk chocochips, and dark chocolate chips, supporting the claim of being chocolaty.
The nutrition information states 0 g of trans fat 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.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
Listed twice: an ingredient appears more than once in the same part of the list. This may indicate two separate ingredient blends in the formulation, or a duplication in how the label was recorded.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
A blend of refined vegetable oils, judged as a single concern — a high saturated-fat source — rather than one flag per oil. The individual oils are listed below and in "What the label actually shows".
These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.

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.
