Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed

The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This multigrain mix offers a blend of whole grains and dry fruits, providing dietary fiber and some essential nutrients. However, it contains added sugar and an ammonia-process caramel colour (INS 150d), which is classified by IARC as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) due to the potential generation of 4-MEI during its manufacture. While the label does not state the concentration of 4-MEI, individuals seeking to avoid such additives should be aware.

Multigrain mix with added sugar and IARC-classified caramel colour

The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This multigrain mix combines various grains and dry fruits, but includes added sugar and an ammonia-process caramel colour (INS 150d). This caramel colour is associated with the potential formation of 4-MEI, which the IARC classifies as possibly carcinogenic to humans. People who prefer to avoid such food additives, or those managing sugar intake, should consider this information. The specific 'Flavours' used are not disclosed.

Ingredient Concerns safety database

Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.

Caramel Colour (Class III & IV) (E150c)

Classes III and IV of caramel colour (INS 150c/150d) are made with ammonia, a process that can generate 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) as a by-product. IARC classifies 4-MEI as Group 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans, and California lists it under Proposition 65 with a warning threshold — though EFSA's own re-evaluation did not reach the same level of concern as IARC's classification. This label does not state the product's 4-MEI concentration, so exposure from this specific product cannot be determined from the ingredient list alone. It is the colour that makes colas and dark sauces brown. Classes I and II are made without ammonia and do not carry this concern.

Wheat Flour

Wheat and wheat-derived ingredients contain gluten, which triggers an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease, causing intestinal damage. People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or wheat allergy must also avoid this ingredient. Labelled as a major allergen by FSSAI.

Decode Label Analysis

Contains Caramel Colour (INS 150d), an ammonia-sulphite caramel colour. This type of caramel colour can generate 4-MEI (4-methylimidazole) during its manufacture, which is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 2B, 'possibly carcinogenic to humans'. The concentration of 4-MEI in this product is not stated on the label.

Contains Wheat & Wheat Flour (Atta), which includes gluten. This is a common allergen and not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

The ingredient 'Flavours' is not specifically disclosed, which reduces transparency regarding the specific compounds used for flavouring.

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.

?
"With 84% Fruit, Seeds & Multigrain" Can't verify

The label states 'MULTIGRAIN MIX (77%)' and 'DRY FRUITS & SEEDS (7%)', which sum to 84%, but the claim combines these categories, and the exact composition of 'Multigrain Mix' and 'Dry Fruits & Seeds' is not fully detailed to verify the 84% combined percentage.

MULTIGRAIN MIX (77%) DRY FRUITS & SEEDS (7%)

"Millet Muesli" Checks out

The ingredients list Ragi Millet Flour, confirming the presence of millet.

RAGI MILLET FLOUR (12%)
✓
"High in Fibre" Checks out

The product contains 6g of fibre per 100g, which is considered high in fibre (typically >6g/100g).

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.
