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
While the tomato content is substantial, the presence of added sugar and refined soyabean oil means it should be consumed in moderation as a condiment, especially for those monitoring their intake of processed ingredients. The lack of specific identification for several additives is the primary factor limiting its score.

What’s favorable

- Lemon Juice
- Iodised Salt
- Mixed Spices
Tomato-rich sauce with undisclosed additives; consume in moderation
This sauce contains a good amount of tomatoes but also includes refined soyabean oil and added sugar. Several functional ingredients like emulsifiers, stabilizers, preservatives, and antioxidants are listed without specific chemical names or INS numbers, which reduces transparency. It's best used sparingly as a condiment due to its processed nature and undisclosed ingredients.
Declared allergens: Milk
Relevant if you have this allergy or intolerance.
Based on the declared ingredient list. This is a risk only to people with the allergy, not a general-population safety issue, so it does not lower the safety score.

Decode Label Analysis
Multiple functional additives (Emulsifiers, Stabilizers, Acidity regulators, Preservatives, Antioxidant) are listed without specific identification (e.g., INS numbers or chemical names), which significantly reduces product transparency and makes a full safety assessment challenging.
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.
Market rank + professional endorsement claim — requires independent survey data and clinical evidence to substantiate; cannot be assessed from label data alone.
This claim indicates a suggested use for the product, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
Tomatoes are listed as an ingredient, but the label does not state the 38% concentration, so the strength cannot be confirmed.
The ingredient list does not contain any non-vegetarian ingredients.
The nutrition information states that the product contains 0 mg of cholesterol per 100g.
The nutrition information states that the product contains 0 g of trans fat 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.
