How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack contains palmolein oil, which is high in saturated fat and a primary contributor to the product's overall saturated fat content. While the product offers some protein from dals and soya nuggets, the high saturated fat content from palmolein oil is a significant nutritional concern, especially with regular consumption. Individuals monitoring their saturated fat intake should be cautious. The presence of citric acid and spices and condiments are common in snack foods and generally well-tolerated.

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 →Decode Label Analysis
Palmolein oil is high in saturated fat, which is a concern for cardiovascular health with high or regular intake. EFSA has also noted concerns regarding glycidyl esters as processing contaminants in refined palm oil, though levels vary by processing.
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 claim 'INDIAN TRADITIONAL SNACKS' is a descriptive category that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The claim 'PRODUCT OF INDIA' is a country of origin declaration that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The product name indicates 'Soya Snax', and soya nuggets are listed in the ingredients.
The ingredients list soya nuggets, gram dal, and spices & condiments, and the product is fried as indicated by the presence of palmolein oil.
The nutrition information states that cholesterol is 0 mg per serving.

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.
