Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 5.5 ShowHide
Scored as a condiment: nutrition is judged on what a 15 g serving delivers — a typical single use — not on the per-100g figures, which describe a quantity of this product nobody eats. The per-100g panel is still shown in full below.
Reviewed 4 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This green chilli paste offers a spicy kick, with a significant 27% green chilli content. This lack of transparency means consumers cannot fully assess potential sensitivities or dietary restrictions related to these unspecified ingredients. For most healthy adults, a typical serving size is unlikely to pose significant health concerns, but individuals with sensitivities to undisclosed additives or those monitoring sodium intake should exercise caution.

Spicy Green Chilli Paste with Undisclosed Additives and Flavours
This green chilli paste is primarily made of green chilli and water, but uses several undisclosed food additives for thickening, acidity regulation, emulsification, stabilization, preservation, and flavour. While generally safe in small serving sizes, the lack of specific ingredient names for these additives means individuals with sensitivities or specific dietary needs cannot fully assess their suitability. It is a condiment, so its nutritional impact should be judged on a typical serving, not per 100g.

Decode Label Analysis
Multiple undisclosed additives (Emulsifying, Stabilizing Agent, Natural Flavouring Substances) reduce transparency and may pose a concern for individuals with sensitivities or allergies to specific compounds.
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.
This is a subjective statement of preference and cannot be verified from the provided label information.
This is a subjective claim about taste and cannot be objectively verified from the provided label information.
The product name states 'Green Chilli Sauce' and the ingredients list 'Green Chilli Paste' as the second ingredient.
The nutrition information states that the product contains 0 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.

Colour shows the per-100g level (green = low, amber = moderate, red = high), from the product's label. This is a condiment — used by the pinch or the spoonful, not eaten by the plate — so a red row here means the product is dense in that nutrient, not that a serving of it is. The score judges its nutrition on what a 15 g serving actually delivers.

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.
