Decode Label Safety Score
Score limited by
No nutrition panel — sugar, fat and salt could not be checked
No lane-by-lane breakdown: the label doesn't carry what the lanes are scored from.
This product presents a blend of traditional botanical ingredients, but its overall safety assessment is significantly hampered by the lack of a nutrition panel. Without this crucial information, it's impossible to evaluate the levels of sugar, saturated fat, and sodium, which are key concerns in processed snack foods. The presence of an undisclosed "Fragrance" also raises a red flag for individuals with fragrance sensitivities or allergies. While some botanicals are present, many are in trace amounts, limiting their potential benefit.

Nutrition unknown; contains undisclosed fragrance and trace botanicals
This product's nutritional content, including sugar, fat, and salt, cannot be assessed due to the absence of a nutrition panel. It also contains an undisclosed "Fragrance," which can be problematic for individuals with sensitivities. While it lists several botanicals, many are in trace amounts, meaning their benefits are likely minimal.

Decode Label Analysis
The product lacks a nutrition panel, making it impossible to assess key nutritional factors like sugar, saturated fat, and sodium content. This is a significant transparency and health concern for a processed snack food.
Contains an undisclosed 'Base Material' and 'Preservative', which are major transparency issues. Consumers cannot know what primary ingredients or specific preservatives are present.
The presence of 'Fragrance' in an ingested food product is concerning for individuals with fragrance sensitivities or allergies, as specific compounds are not disclosed.

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.

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.
