Fruit Juice Concentrate
Fruit-juice concentrate is fruit juice with the water removed, leaving concentrated sugars (largely fructose and glucose). Nutritionally it behaves as a free sugar and is frequently used to sweeten products that market themselves as having "no added sugar". The WHO recommends no free sugars for infants and young children, so it is a particular concern in foods aimed at babies and toddlers.

Maltitol, a sugar alcohol, can cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea in some individuals, especially when consumed in larger quantities.
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 claim 'Metabolism Boost' is a health benefit claim that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The number of tablets (16N) is a quantity claim that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The designation 'Nutraceutical for Adults' is a regulatory classification that cannot be checked from the ingredient list.
The ingredient list includes Green Tea Extract and Apple Cider Vinegar Powder, supporting the claim of containing Green Tea and ACV.
The ingredient list includes 'Nature identical flavouring substances' and 'Vegetable Juice Concentrate, Red Radish', which can contribute to a watermelon flavor.
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.
