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 highly processed and contains multiple additives, including two preservatives and several emulsifiers. The presence of refined palm oil, interesterified vegetable fat, and margarine contributes to a high saturated fat content, which is a concern for cardiovascular health. The product also contains a significant amount of sugar and refined wheat flour, offering limited nutritional value. While cocoa solids are listed, they are present in trace amounts and do not contribute meaningfully to the product's nutritional profile. The use of nature identical and artificial flavouring substances, along with multiple raising agents and flour treatment agents, further indicates a highly processed food item.

Highly Processed Food with High Saturated Fat and Added Sugar
This product is a highly processed food item, primarily composed of refined flour, sugar, and fats high in saturated fat. It contains multiple food additives, including preservatives and emulsifiers, and uses artificial flavourings. Consumers concerned about saturated fat intake, added sugars, and highly processed foods should be cautious.

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.

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 →Margarine
Margarine is vegetable oil hardened into a spreadable fat. Indian margarine has been largely trans-free since FSSAI capped industrial trans fat at 2% in 2021, so its concern today is saturated fat rather than trans fat: hardening requires a high saturated fraction, usually palm. Saturated fat raises LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. Bakery margarine in a biscuit or pastry is the same fat as the tub.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI trans fat regulation (2021); WHO saturated fat intake guideline (2023)
Margarine: regulation, sources and other products →Interesterified Vegetable Fat
Interesterified fat is made by rearranging fatty acids on the glycerol backbone. It is the modern, trans-FREE replacement for partially hydrogenated oil, so — unlike vanaspati — it does not contribute industrial trans fat. It is, however, high in saturated fat, which raises LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption, and some metabolic questions about this fat class remain under research. Judge it on its saturated-fat content, not as a trans-fat source.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI; WHO; EFSA opinions on interesterified fats
Interesterified Vegetable 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
This product contains Refined Palm Oil & Interesterified Vegetable Fat, which are high in saturated fat. EFSA has also raised concerns about glycidyl esters contaminants that can form during the refining of these oils.
Margarine is present, contributing to the high saturated fat content of the product.
Contains multiple warning-level additives including two preservatives (Calcium Propionate, Potassium Sorbate) and artificial flavouring substances, indicating a highly processed food.
Contains Sorbitol (Humectant 420(ii)), a sugar alcohol that can have a laxative effect if consumed in large quantities.
Combined Effects interactions
Combined, these ingredients significantly increase the saturated fat content of the product, raising concerns for cardiovascular health.
Both ingredients contribute to the overall phosphate load. High dietary phosphate intake, especially from additives, can be a concern for individuals with kidney issues or those monitoring mineral balance.
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 product is explicitly labeled as a 'SHARE PACK' on the front of the packaging.
The packaging clearly states 'PACK OF 5', indicating the quantity of croissants inside.
The ingredient list includes cocoa solids, which supports the 'COCOA CRÈME' claim.
The ingredient list includes nature identical & artificial (chocolate & vanilla) flavouring substances, confirming it is a flavoured croissant.
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.
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.

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.
