Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 3.9 ShowHide
Reviewed 8 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This multigrain cereal offers a blend of various grains and some beneficial seeds, but its nutritional profile is significantly impacted by high added sugar and the presence of an ammonia caramel colour. While the multigrain base provides dietary fiber, the overall formulation is highly processed and contains additives that warrant caution, particularly for children and individuals sensitive to certain food additives.

High added sugar; contains IARC-classified ammonia caramel colour and undisclosed flavours
This multigrain cereal contains a significant amount of added sugar, which contributes to a high overall sugar content. It also includes an ammonia caramel colour (Caramel), which is associated with a possible carcinogen (4-MEI) by IARC. While it offers a variety of grains, the product is highly processed.
Declared allergens: Gluten

Based on the declared ingredient list. This is a risk only to people with the allergy, not a general-population safety issue, so it does not lower the safety score.

Decode Label Analysis
Contains Caramel, which if it is ammonia caramel (E150c or E150d), may contain 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI). IARC classifies 4-MEI as Group 2B, 'possibly carcinogenic to humans'. The label does not specify the type of caramel or the concentration of 4-MEI.
The terms 'Flavours' and 'Colour' are not specifically identified, which limits transparency for consumers with allergies or sensitivities to specific flavouring agents or colour additives.
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 product name states 'Choco Millet Muesli' and the ingredients list cocoa solids and various millets (Ragi, Jowar) as part of the multigrain mix, confirming the presence of chocolate and millet in a muesli form.
The product name states 'With 78% Fruit, Seeds & Multigrain'. The ingredients list 'MULTIGRAIN MIX (69.1%)' and 'CANDIED & DRY FRUITS & SEEDS (9%)', which sum up to 78.1%, supporting the claim.
The nutrition information states 7g of fibre per 100g, which is considered high in fibre (typically >6g per 100g).
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.
The label declares each of these as a blend and then lists what is in it. The components appear in the groups above on their own merits, so the blend itself is shown here rather than counted a second time.

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.
