Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This noodle product is primarily made from ragi flour, offering a gluten-free base. The main nutritional consideration is its sodium content from salt, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Guar gum is included as a thickener and binder, generally well-tolerated but can cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals if consumed in very large quantities. Overall, it's a straightforward product with minimal processing beyond its core ingredients.

Claim check
2 claims not supported by label dataFront-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 shows Ragi flour (94%), Guar gum, and Salt, not just cold pressed Jowari flour. Also, Jowar (Sorghum) is not listed as an ingredient, but Ragi (Finger Millet) is.
The product name claims 'Jowar', but the ingredient list shows 'Ragi flour' as the primary ingredient, not Jowar (Sorghum).
The cooking time claim cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
This is a slogan or marketing statement that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
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 ingredient list includes Ragi Flour, the regional name for the claimed ingredient, so the label supports this claim.
The ingredient list does not contain Maida (refined wheat flour).
The ingredient list does not contain any form of wheat.

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.
