Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed

This snack product contains several ingredients that warrant caution, particularly for individuals with specific dietary needs or sensitivities. The presence of Palmolein oil contributes to a high saturated fat content, which is a cardiovascular concern with regular high intake. Hydrolysed Peanut Protein is a major allergen and can cause severe reactions in individuals with peanut allergies. The product also includes a flavour enhancer, which may be a concern for those managing gout. While the spice blend offers some natural flavour, the overall formulation is highly processed and contains added sugar and high sodium, making it less suitable for frequent consumption, especially for young children.

Ingredient Concerns safety database

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.

Peanuts

Peanut allergy is one of the most common and severe food allergies, capable of causing anaphylaxis — a potentially fatal allergic reaction. Even trace amounts (cross-contamination) can trigger reactions. Peanut allergy is usually lifelong and requires strict avoidance. Always carry an epinephrine auto-injector if allergic.

Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI; FDA; Allergy & Asthma Network

Peanuts: regulation, sources and other products →

Palm Oil

Palm oil is very high in saturated fatty acids (~50%), which raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. Refined palm oil can also carry processing contaminants (glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters), which EFSA assessed in 2016.

Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO; Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; EFSA CONTAM opinion (2016)

Palm Oil: regulation, sources and other products →

Disodium Ribonucleotides (E635)

E635 is a mixture of disodium inosinate (E631) and disodium guanylate (E627). Both are purine nucleotides, which the body breaks down to uric acid. People with gout or hyperuricaemia, or who have been advised to limit purines, may wish to limit foods containing it. The amounts used in foods are small, so the concern applies to people already managing uric acid rather than to the general population.

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.

ⓘ
"Party Pack" Packaging / category descriptor

This describes the product’s packaging or its category, not a testable attribute of the food itself — so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.

?
"25% Extra" Can't verify

The claim "25% Extra" cannot be verified without information on the standard pack size or weight for comparison.

?
"Tasty & Crunchy!" Can't verify

The claims "Tasty" and "Crunchy" are subjective sensory attributes that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.

✓
"Mix Masala" Checks out

The ingredients list various spices and condiments, including red chilli, dried onion flakes, dried garlic, cumin, dried mango slice, clove, coriander seeds, dried ginger, and fennel seeds, which supports the "Mix Masala" claim.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.

Listed twice: an ingredient appears more than once in the same part of the list. This may indicate two separate ingredient blends in the formulation, or a duplication in how the label was recorded.

In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.

These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.

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.
