Decode Label Analysis
The product contains a very high amount of added sugars from both 'Sugar' and 'Liquid Glucose', which can contribute to excessive caloric intake and may negatively impact blood sugar levels. This is a dominant nutritional concern.
The ingredient 'Preservatives' is not specifically identified, which is a transparency concern. Without knowing the specific compounds, a full safety assessment cannot be made, and potential sensitivities cannot be identified.
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.
Khoa is listed as an ingredient, but the label does not state the 55% concentration, so the strength cannot be confirmed.
Ghee is listed as an ingredient, and the product name specifies 'Cow Ghee'.
The product is named 'Milk Cake' and contains milk solids (Khoa) as the primary ingredient.
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.
