Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 11 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This chocolate candy is primarily a source of added sugar and saturated fat, with milk chocolate and skimmed milk powder contributing to its profile. While it contains common food ingredients, the presence of palm olein and palm oil contributes to its saturated fat content. The 'Nature-Identical Flavouring Substance' indicates a lack of specific disclosure regarding the flavour compounds, which may be a concern for those with sensitivities to undisclosed flavourings.
At a glance

What’s favorable
- Sunflower Oil (High Oleic Acid)
High in added sugar and saturated fat; contains undisclosed flavouring
This chocolate candy is high in added sugar and saturated fat, primarily from milk chocolate, sugar, and palm oils. It also contains a 'Nature-Identical Flavouring Substance' which does not specify the exact flavour compounds, a common practice in food labelling but one that reduces transparency for consumers with sensitivities.
Consider this product carefully if you are

- Avoiding certain additives or colours — Palm Olein is declared.
Declared allergens: Milk and Gluten
Relevant if you have any of these allergies or intolerances.
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.

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.
Palm Oil
Palm oil is very high in saturated fatty acids (~50%), which raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. Refined palm oil can also carry processing contaminants (glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters), which EFSA assessed in 2016.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO; Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; EFSA CONTAM opinion (2016)
Palm Oil: regulation, sources and other products →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.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI Food Labelling Regulations; Celiac Disease Foundation
Wheat Flour: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Palm Olein and Palm Oil are high in saturated fat, which can contribute to cardiovascular concerns with regular high intake. EFSA's CONTAM opinion (2016) highlights potential contaminants like glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters from refining processes, though levels depend on processing.
Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) and Wheat Starch contain gluten, making this product unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Barley Malt Extract Powder also contains gluten.
Milk Chocolate, Milk Powder, Skimmed Milk Powder, and Whey Protein Concentrate contain milk, a common allergen.
Claim check

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.
A blend of refined vegetable oils, judged as a single concern — a high saturated-fat source — rather than one flag per oil. The individual oils are listed below and in "What the label actually shows".
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.
