Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 7 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This chocolate candy is primarily a source of added sugar and industrially modified fat, which are significant nutritional concerns. While it provides some cocoa solids and milk solids, the overall formulation is highly processed and offers limited nutritional benefits, making it a concern most relevant to children due to the high sugar content.

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.
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)

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 name includes 'Silk Mousse', and the image shows a chocolate bar with a mousse-like filling, which is consistent with the product name.
The nutrition information states that the product contains 18 mg of cholesterol 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.

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.
The label declares each of these as a blend and then lists what is in it. The components appear in the groups above on their own merits, so the blend itself is shown here rather than counted a second time.

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.
