This snack is primarily made from gram pulse flour and edible vegetable oil, making it an energy-dense fried product. While the ingredients themselves are common, the high fat content from frying, particularly saturated fat, is a significant nutritional concern for regular consumption. The 'Spices & Condiments' listing lacks transparency, preventing a full assessment of potential irritants or allergens for sensitive individuals. It is best consumed in moderation as an occasional treat.

- Iodised Salt
Energy-dense fried snack with high fat content; limited transparency on spices.
This snack is a fried product, meaning it's high in calories and fat, primarily from the edible vegetable oil used for frying. While gram pulse flour provides some protein, the overall nutritional profile is dominated by fat. The generic 'Spices & Condiments' listing means specific ingredients are not disclosed, which could be an issue for those with allergies or sensitivities to certain spices.

Decode Label Analysis
The generic listing 'Edible Vegetable Oil' does not specify the type of oil, which can vary in saturated fat content. High intake of saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
The term 'Spices & Condiments' lacks transparency, meaning specific ingredients are not disclosed. This can be problematic for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to particular spices or flavourings.
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.
The claim 'GREAT TASTE' is a subjective statement about the product's sensory qualities, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition information provided.
The claim 'RELISH THE GOODNESS OF DELIGHTFUL SAVOURY TREATS' is a subjective statement about the product's sensory qualities and experience, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition information provided.
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.
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.
