How we got 5.6 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack is primarily corn, with edible vegetable oil and seasoning. The main nutritional concern is the saturated fat content from the edible vegetable oil, which can vary depending on the specific oil used. It is generally suitable for healthy adults in moderation, but individuals monitoring their fat intake should be mindful of the saturated fat content.
Corn-based snack with undisclosed seasoning and variable saturated fat
This snack is made mostly of corn, with edible vegetable oil and an unspecified seasoning blend. The exact type of vegetable oil can vary, which means the saturated fat content may also differ between batches.

Undisclosed 'Edible Vegetable Oil' may contribute to high saturated fat
Lack of transparency regarding 'Seasoning' ingredients
Decode Label Analysis
The ingredient 'Edible Vegetable Oil' is a generic term that can encompass various oils, some of which (like palm oil) are high in saturated fat.
The term 'Seasoning' is broad and does not disclose specific ingredients, which could include flavor enhancers (e.g., MSG), artificial flavors, or other additives that some consumers may wish to avoid.
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 claim refers to a comparison with a previous version of the product, which cannot be verified from the current label.
The label states '5% of Adult's RDA' for energy, but the specific RDA value for adults is not provided on the label to verify this percentage.
The ingredients list 'Colour (162)' which is a natural colour (Beetroot Red) and 'Natural and Nature Identical Flavouring Substances', indicating no artificial colours or flavours are used.
The seasoning includes 'Spices and Condiments' and 'Natural and Nature Identical Flavouring Substances' which support the presence of fiery, lime, and chilli flavour notes.
The nutrition information states 513 kcal per 100g, which calculates to 102.6 kcal for a 20g serving, supporting the claim of 103 kcal per serve.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
