Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 3.9 ShowHide
Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This instant mix provides a convenient base for traditional Indian dishes, primarily composed of rice and urad dal flours. However, the presence of Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), classified by IARC as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen, is a significant concern. Additionally, the lack of specific disclosure for 'Raising Agents' and 'Acidity Regulator' reduces transparency, making it difficult to assess the full additive profile.

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.
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.
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.
The claim 'Cook 20 Dosas in 3 easy steps' refers to the yield and preparation instructions, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The ingredient list does not explicitly mention the presence or absence of artificial flavours.
The full ingredient list declares no a synthetic colour, which is exactly what this claim says. The label supports it.
The ingredient list does not contain any preservatives.
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.
