How we got 4.5 ShowHide
Scored as a condiment: nutrition is judged on what a 15 g serving delivers — a typical single use — not on the per-100g figures, which describe a quantity of this product nobody eats. The per-100g panel is still shown in full below.

This tomato paste-based condiment offers a convenient flavor boost, but its high sugar and sodium content, even in a typical serving, warrants caution for those monitoring their intake.

The 'Spices and Condiments' are not specifically identified, which may contain common allergens or irritants for sensitive individuals.
Claim check
1 claim 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 includes 'Tomato Paste' as the second ingredient, but also contains sugar, salt, acidity regulator, stabilizers, preservative, onion powder, garlic powder, spices and condiments, which means the product is not made with '100% Real Tomatoes' exclusively.
This is a marketing term that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
This claim refers to the brand's history and sourcing practices, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
While tomato paste is listed, the term 'Fresh' cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone, as processing methods are not detailed.
The product packaging clearly states '2 kg', indicating the net weight.
The presence of sugar and acidity regulator in the ingredients supports the 'Sweet & Tangy' flavor profile.
The ingredient list includes 'Tomato Paste', confirming the presence of real tomatoes.

Colour shows the per-100g level (green = low, amber = moderate, red = high), calculated from the declared serving — this label prints per-serving figures only. This is a condiment — used by the pinch or the spoonful, not eaten by the plate — so a red row here means the product is dense in that nutrient, not that a serving of it is. The score judges its nutrition on what a 15 g serving actually delivers.

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.
