How we got 5.5 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This product is primarily peanuts, a good source of protein and healthy fats, but it is also an energy-dense fried snack with added vegetable oils and a moderate sodium content from Himalayan rock salt. The primary concern is the presence of peanuts, which are a major allergen and can cause severe, life-threatening reactions in sensitive individuals. While the added oils contribute to the high fat and calorie content, the specific type of vegetable oil used is not fully transparent, which can impact the overall nutritional profile. Individuals with peanut allergies must strictly avoid this product.

Peanuts
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and severe food allergies, capable of causing anaphylaxis — a potentially fatal allergic reaction. Even trace amounts (cross-contamination) can trigger reactions. Peanut allergy is usually lifelong and requires strict avoidance. Always carry an epinephrine auto-injector if allergic.

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.
