This product contains partially hydrogenated vegetable fat, a source of industrial trans fats, which are harmful to heart health and restricted by FSSAI and EU regulations. While it offers various flavors, the presence of trans fats is a significant concern. It is also a highly processed snack food with high sugar and saturated fat content, making it unsuitable for frequent consumption, especially for young children. The product is generally okay for healthy adults in moderation, but individuals with heart conditions or those monitoring their intake of trans fats, sugar, and saturated fat should avoid it.

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.

Partially Hydrogenated Oil

Partially hydrogenated oil is the primary source of industrial trans fats. Trans fats raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol, lower HDL ("good") cholesterol, and are strongly linked to heart disease, stroke and type-2 diabetes. The WHO calls for their complete elimination from the food supply and FSSAI caps industrial trans fat at 2%. There is no safe level of intake.

Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO REPLACE initiative; FSSAI Trans Fatty Acids Regulation 2021

Partially Hydrogenated Oil: 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

Partially hydrogenated oil is a source of industrial trans fats, which are harmful to heart health and restricted by FSSAI and EU Reg. 2019/649 (2 g per 100 g of fat).

Hydrogenated vegetable fat is a high saturated fat source, which can contribute to increased cholesterol levels and heart disease risk.

Refined wheat flour contains gluten, which is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

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.

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.
