Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 3.9 ShowHide
Reviewed 12 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This ice cream contains two artificial colours, Tartrazine (INS 102) and Sunset Yellow FCF (INS 110), which are linked to hyperactivity in children and require a warning label in the EU. While it offers some dairy and nut components, the presence of multiple stabilisers and artificial flavours indicates a highly processed food. Individuals sensitive to artificial colours, especially parents of young children, should be aware of these ingredients. The product also contains a significant amount of added sugar and liquid glucose, contributing to its overall sugar load.

Sunset Yellow FCF (E110)
E110 is part of the "Southampton Six" artificial colours linked to increased hyperactivity in children in a UK FSA-funded study. The EU mandates a warning label on products containing it. Allergy and asthma sufferers may also react.

Sunset Yellow FCF: regulation, sources and other products →Tartrazine (E102)
Tartrazine is a synthetic azo dye. It can cause hypersensitivity reactions in aspirin-sensitive individuals and asthma patients. The EU requires a warning label ("may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children") on foods containing E102.

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 ingredients list saffron as a flavouring substance, and the product name indicates 'Kesar Bhog', which refers to saffron.
The ingredients list milk solids and milk as primary 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.

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.
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.
