Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 4.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 8 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack is primarily made of potatoes and a blend of spices, offering a flavourful profile. However, it is a fried product with a significant fat content from edible vegetable oil, contributing to its high calorie density. The presence of 'Natural & Nature Identical Flavouring Substances' indicates the use of non-natural flavour compounds, which may be a concern for those seeking a fully natural product. While the spice blend is extensive, some ingredients like mint leaves powder, mustard seed powder, and mint leaves extract are present in trace amounts, making their contribution to any meaningful benefit unlikely. The product is generally suitable for healthy adults in moderation, but individuals monitoring fat and calorie intake should be mindful of portion sizes.

Fried potato snack with high fat content and undisclosed 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.
The ingredient list includes Mint Leaves Powder and Mint Leaves Extract, which supports the 'PUDINA TREAT' claim.
The ingredient list starts with Potatoes, which supports the 'POTATO CHIPS' 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.

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.
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.
