Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.8 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This carbonated beverage is primarily composed of carbonated water and sugar, contributing to a high sugar load. It contains several synthetic food additives, including the artificial colour Sunset Yellow FCF (INS 110), which is linked to hyperactivity in children. The preservative sodium benzoate (INS 211) is also present. While the acidity regulator and stabilizers are generally considered safe, the combination of high sugar and synthetic additives makes this product less suitable for regular consumption, especially for children.

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.
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.

Contains Sunset Yellow FCF (INS 110), a synthetic food colour linked to hyperactivity in children.
High added sugar content, which contributes to a poor nutritional profile and is advised to be limited by WHO.
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 includes 'ADDED FLAVOURS (NATURAL & NATURE-IDENTICAL FLAVOURING SUBSTANCES)', which supports the product being orange flavoured.
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.
