No nutrition panel was captured, but the ingredient list shows a sugar/refined-fat source high up, so this is scored as a sugar-/fat-forward product. The rating is provisional — capture the nutrition facts for a full assessment.

This snack product is primarily composed of refined grains and edible vegetable oil, which contributes to its high saturated fat content. While it contains common spices and condiments for flavor, the presence of sugar and citric acid, along with the unspecified 'Edible Vegetable Oil', means its nutritional profile is not ideal for frequent consumption. It is generally suitable for healthy adults in moderation, but individuals monitoring their intake of saturated fat, sugar, or sodium should exercise caution.

Decode Label Analysis

The generic term 'Edible Vegetable Oil' lacks transparency, making it impossible to determine the specific type of oil and its fatty acid profile. This could include oils high in saturated fat.

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.

ⓘ
"NAMKEEN" Packaging / category descriptor

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.

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.
