High saturated fat from palmolein; contains undisclosed flavour
This snack contains palmolein, which contributes significantly to its saturated fat content, a concern for cardiovascular health with frequent consumption. The product also lists 'Flavour' and 'Acidity Regulators' without further detail, which means the specific substances used are not transparently disclosed. While it includes common ingredients like besan and rice flour, the overall nutritional profile is dominated by fats and carbohydrates.

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 →Decode Label Analysis
Palmolein is high in saturated fat, which is a cardiovascular concern with regular high intake. EFSA has also identified glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters as potential contaminants formed during the refining of palm oil, with levels dependent on processing.
The product contains 'Flavour', 'Seasoning', and 'Acidity regulators' without specific disclosure of the compounds used, which reduces transparency and may be a concern for individuals with sensitivities or those avoiding certain additives.
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 nutrition information provides energy per 100g (528 kcal) and a serving size of 20g, but the claim states 158 kcal per 30g serving, which cannot be directly verified or converted from the provided data.
The label states '8% of Adult's GDA' but does not provide the full GDA values for adults, making it impossible to verify this percentage.
The product name indicates 'Masala Twisteez', and the ingredients list 'Spices and Condiments' multiple times, supporting the 'Masala' aspect, while the image shows twisted snack pieces, supporting 'Twisteez'.
The term 'Namkeen' refers to a savory snack, which is consistent with the product's description as 'Masala Twisteez' and its ingredients.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
