Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 4 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This biscuit product is a highly processed snack with significant amounts of added sugar and industrially modified fats. While it provides a quick energy source, its nutritional profile is dominated by high sugar content and saturated fat from palmolein and fractionated fat. Consumers, especially those managing blood sugar or cardiovascular health, should consume it in strict moderation. The presence of 'Nature identical flavouring substances' also indicates a lack of full transparency regarding specific flavour compounds.

High in added sugar and industrially modified fats; highly processed.
This biscuit contains high levels of added sugar and industrially processed fats like palmolein and fractionated fat, contributing to its high saturated fat content. It is a highly processed food with limited nutritional benefits, making it unsuitable for frequent consumption, particularly for individuals monitoring sugar and fat intake. The use of 'Nature identical flavouring substances' means the specific flavour chemicals are not disclosed.
Consider this product carefully if you are

- Avoiding certain additives or colours — Palmolein is declared.
Declared allergens: Gluten
Relevant if you have this allergy or intolerance.
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 →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
Product is high in added sugars (Sugar, Invert Sugar), contributing to overall caloric intake and potential health risks with excessive consumption.
Contains industrially modified fats (Fractionated Fat, Palmolein) which are high in saturated fat, a concern for cardiovascular health.
The term 'Nature identical flavouring substances' indicates synthetic flavour compounds without specific disclosure, which may be a concern for individuals with sensitivities.
Contains Refined Wheat Flour, which includes gluten and is an allergen for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
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 cocoa solids and nature identical flavouring substances, which support a chocolate creme flavour.
The product is described as biscuits and contains cocoa solids, supporting the 'chocolatey sandwich biscuits' description.
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.
