How we got 4.9 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack product is primarily composed of cereal meals, with a significant amount of added sugar and an ambiguous blend of edible vegetable oils that includes palm oil, contributing to its saturated fat content. The presence of flavour enhancers, specifically Disodium Ribonucleotides, is a consideration for individuals managing gout. While the product provides basic carbohydrates, its nutritional profile is dominated by added sugar and fat, typical of a processed snack.

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 →Disodium Ribonucleotides (E635)
E635 is a mixture of disodium inosinate (E631) and disodium guanylate (E627). Both are purine nucleotides, which the body breaks down to uric acid. People with gout or hyperuricaemia, or who have been advised to limit purines, may wish to limit foods containing it. The amounts used in foods are small, so the concern applies to people already managing uric acid rather than to the general population.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA; WHO; Arthritis Foundation
Disodium Ribonucleotides: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Palm Oil is high in saturated fat, which can contribute to cardiovascular concerns with regular high intake. It may also contain refining contaminants like glycidyl esters, though levels depend on processing.
Flavour Enhancers, if they include Disodium Ribonucleotides, are a purine source and relevant for people managing gout.
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 label states '6% of Adult's RDA' for energy, but the specific RDA value for an adult is not provided on the label to verify this percentage.
The ingredient list shows Rice Meal (43%), Corn Meal (23%), and Gram Meal (0.5%), which is dal.
The full ingredient list declares no a synthetic colour, which is exactly what this claim says. The label supports it.
The nutrition information states 555 kcal per 100g, which calculates to 111 kcal for a 20g serving.
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.
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.
