Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed

This product is a nutritious blend of whole millets and dry fruits, offering good fiber and protein. However, the significant amount of jaggery and butter contributes to a high sugar and saturated fat content, making it less suitable for frequent consumption, especially for young children. Individuals managing blood sugar or cholesterol should consume it in moderation.

Nutrient-dense millet blend, but high in added sugar and saturated fat.

This product combines various whole millets, dry fruits, and nuts, providing dietary fiber and protein. However, with 15% jaggery and 16% butter, it contains a notable amount of added sugars and saturated fats. While beneficial for energy, these levels warrant moderation, particularly for children and those monitoring their intake of sugar and saturated fat.

Okay for: Healthy adults in moderation Individuals seeking energy-dense snacks

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.

?
"No Additives" Can't verify

The ingredient list does not explicitly mention or exclude additives, making this claim unverifiable from the provided label data.

✓
"No Refined Sugar" Checks out

The label qualifies its sugar as unrefined, so the claim holds as printed. Note this is about the claim only — unrefined sugar still counts as added sugar, and the nutrition assessment treats it that way.

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.
