Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 6.1 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack product is primarily composed of a 'Base Mix' and oat flour, offering a relatively simple ingredient profile. The main nutritional consideration is the sodium content from iodised salt, which is a common concern in processed snacks, particularly for young children. While the product avoids artificial colours, flavours, and trans fats, the 'Base Mix' and 'Spices' are broad categories that limit full transparency regarding specific components. It is generally suitable for healthy adults in moderation, but parents should be mindful of the sodium level for younger children.

Claim check
1 claim not supported by label dataFront-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.
Protein provides only 6.8% of this product’s energy, below the 20% a “high protein” claim requires. (Judged on % of energy, not % by weight.)
The claim 'HEALTHY.CRUNCHY.YUMMY.' is a subjective statement that cannot be objectively verified from the provided label information.
The claim 'HEALTHY SNACKS' is a subjective statement that cannot be objectively verified from the provided label information.
The ingredient list includes 'Spices' but does not specifically mention sour cream or onion, making the flavor claim unverifiable.
The label does not explicitly state 'No Artificial Colors' in the ingredients or other declarations, making this claim unverifiable from the provided information.
The ingredient list does not explicitly state 'No Preservatives' nor does it list any common preservatives, but without a definitive statement, the claim remains unverifiable.
The label states 'GLUTEN FREE', but without a specific gluten-free certification or detailed ingredient analysis to confirm the absence of gluten-containing ingredients, this claim is unverifiable from the provided information.
The ingredient list confirms the presence of Rolled Oats Flour, supporting the claim of 'OATS CHIPS'.
The label declares 0 g added sugar; the 2.2 g of sugar shown is naturally occurring from grains and pulses. The "no added sugar" claim is supported by the label.
The ingredient list does not include palm oil, supporting the claim.
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.
