How we got 1.6 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This instant noodle product is primarily composed of refined wheat flour and edible vegetable oil, with a significant presence of flavor enhancers and other additives. The inclusion of disodium inosinate (INS 631) and disodium guanylate (INS 627) as flavor enhancers is a specific concern for individuals managing gout due to their purine content. While the product contains a variety of dehydrated vegetables and spices, these are present in relatively small amounts. The presence of TBHQ (INS 319) as an antioxidant is also a point of caution due to its classification as a warning-level additive. The product's overall nutritional profile, particularly its sodium and sugar content, makes it less ideal for frequent consumption, especially for young children.

Contains multiple flavor enhancers and a warning-level antioxidant
The score is held down by this product's nutrition profile, which dominates the assessment regardless of the rest of the formulation. This instant noodle product includes several flavor enhancers, specifically disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate, which are purine sources and should be noted by individuals with gout. It also contains TBHQ, an antioxidant classified as a warning-level additive. While it has some dehydrated vegetables and spices, these are not primary ingredients. The formulation is typical of processed snack foods, with refined flour and vegetable oil as main components.

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.
Disodium Ribonucleotides (E635)
E635 is a mixture of disodium inosinate (E631) and disodium guanylate (E627). Both are purine nucleotides, which the body breaks down to uric acid. People with gout or hyperuricaemia, or who have been advised to limit purines, may wish to limit foods containing it. The amounts used in foods are small, so the concern applies to people already managing uric acid rather than to the general population.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA; WHO; Arthritis Foundation
Disodium Ribonucleotides: regulation, sources and other products →Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein
Hydrolysed vegetable protein is a savoury flavour base made by breaking vegetable protein into amino acids, which gives a concentrated glutamate taste. When it is made with acid, chloropropanols such as 3-MCPD can form as a by-product, and the EU food safety authority has set a tolerable daily intake for 3-MCPD. The label does not say how it was made, so this is information, not a finding about this product.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA Panel on Contaminants, Risks for human health related to the presence of 3- and 2-monochloropropanediol (MCPD) and glycidyl fatty acid esters in food, EFSA Journal 2016;14(5):4426
Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein: regulation, sources and other products →Added Sugars
Sugars added to food, and the sugars in honey, syrups and fruit juice concentrates, are "free sugars". The WHO guideline recommends that they stay below 10% of total energy intake and suggests below 5% for additional benefit. Where the sugar sits in the ingredient list and how many grams the panel declares is what matters; this is information, because the nutrition score already prices the grams.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO, Guideline: Sugars intake for adults and children (2015)
Added Sugars: 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
Contains Disodium Inosinate (INS 631) and Disodium Guanylate (INS 627), which are purine sources and should be consumed with caution by individuals managing gout.
Contains TBHQ (INS 319), a synthetic antioxidant classified as a warning-level additive.
Contains Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein, which can carry process contaminants depending on the hydrolysis method.
Contains Refined Wheat Flour, which contains gluten and is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Combined Effects interactions
Synergistic flavor enhancement, increasing the overall umami taste. The combination of glutamates (from INS 620 and yeast extract) with ribonucleotides (INS 631, INS 627) is known for a strong synergistic effect.
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 dehydrated pieces of corn, carrot, french beans, green peas, and curry leaves, which are vegetables.
The ingredients list mixed spices including red chilli, turmeric, coriander, black pepper, cumin, fenugreek, ginger, clove, nutmeg, and green cardamom, which constitute a masala.

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.
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.
The label declares each of these as a blend and then lists what is in it. The components appear in the groups above on their own merits, so the blend itself is shown here rather than counted a second time.

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.
