How we got 3.3 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
The score is held down by this product's nutrition profile, which dominates the assessment regardless of the rest of the formulation. This mango beverage contains a significant amount of added sugar, which is a primary nutritional concern, especially for children. It also includes Sunset Yellow FCF (Colour 110), an artificial food colour linked to hyperactivity in some children. While the product provides some mango pulp and Vitamin C (Antioxidant 300), the overall formulation is driven by sugar and artificial additives. Individuals sensitive to artificial colours or those monitoring sugar intake, particularly for young children, should exercise caution.

Added Sugars
Sugars added to food, and the sugars in honey, syrups and fruit juice concentrates, are "free sugars". The WHO guideline recommends that they stay below 10% of total energy intake and suggests below 5% for additional benefit. Where the sugar sits in the ingredient list and how many grams the panel declares is what matters; this is information, because the nutrition score already prices the grams.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO, Guideline: Sugars intake for adults and children (2015)
Added Sugars: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Sunset Yellow FCF (Colour 110), an artificial food colour that has been linked to hyperactivity in children.
High added sugar content, which contributes to overall calorie intake. WHO recommends limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake, ideally less than 5%.
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 term 'REFRESH' is a marketing descriptor and cannot be verified against the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The label does not specify what the '4.1%' refers to, making it impossible to verify.
The product is described as a fruit drink and contains mango pulp, supporting the 'fruit drink' aspect. 'Ready-to-serve' is a common product category descriptor.
The nutrition information states 60 kcal per 100g. With a serving size of 150ml, which is approximately 150g, the total energy would be 60 kcal/100g * 1.5 = 90 kcal. The stated 81 kcal is within a reasonable range for a 'this pack contains' claim.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
