Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 5.5 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack is primarily composed of potato and groundnut, fried in refined palmolein oil, contributing to its high saturated fat content. While the spices offer some nutritional benefits, the presence of refined sugar and rock salt means it is high in both added sugar and sodium. Individuals with peanut allergies must strictly avoid this product due to the presence of groundnut. The high saturated fat content from palmolein oil is a concern for those monitoring their cardiovascular health, especially with regular consumption.

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.

Palm Oil: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Groundnut (Peanut), a major allergen that can cause life-threatening anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals. This is a declarable allergen under FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020.
Refined Palmolein Oil is high in saturated fat, which is a cardiovascular concern with regular high intake. EFSA's CONTAM opinion (2016) also highlighted concerns regarding glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters as processing contaminants in refined palm oil, with levels dependent on refining processes.

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.
