Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This biscuit product is primarily made from wheat flour and contains a significant amount of sugar and refined palm oil, contributing to its high saturated fat content. While it provides basic carbohydrates, the presence of artificial vanilla flavouring and sulphite as an allergen, alongside the high sugar and saturated fat, makes it less ideal for regular consumption, particularly for young children. Individuals with sulphite sensitivity should avoid this product.

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 →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
Refined Palm Oil is high in saturated fat, which is a cardiovascular concern. EFSA has also identified glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters as potential contaminants formed during refining, with levels depending on processing.
The product contains sulphites, which are common allergens and can trigger reactions, particularly in individuals with asthma or sulphite sensitivity. (FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020)
The presence of 'Natural' as an ingredient without further specification is a transparency concern, as it does not identify a specific component.
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 ingredient list shows 'Wheat Flour' as the primary ingredient, which is also known as Atta, but 'Refined Palm Oil' and 'Sugar' are also high on the list, suggesting it's not exclusively 100% Atta in composition.
This describes the product’s packaging or its category, not a testable attribute of the food itself — so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.
The product contains 7.3g of fibre per 100g, which is considered high fibre.
The nutrition information states 0g 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.

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.
