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
This product contains a very high amount of added sugars (Jaggery Powder, Brown Sugar) listed as the first two ingredients, which is a significant concern for a product marketed to children. High sugar intake can contribute to dental caries, weight gain, and may displace more nutrient-dense foods.

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 'Balanced Nutrition Mix For Every Family' is a general statement about nutritional balance and suitability that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The claim 'Yummy Health Rich Ingredients' is a subjective statement about taste and health benefits that cannot be objectively verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The ingredient list does not explicitly state the absence of preservatives, nor does it list any common preservatives, so the claim cannot be definitively verified or refuted.
The claim 'Truly Handcrafted' refers to the manufacturing process, which cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The ingredients list Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened) and Coffee, which support the 'Cho-Coffee Flavour' claim.
The ingredients list Jaggery Powder and Brown Sugar, but no refined sugar. The nutrition panel also shows added sugar, but the claim specifies 'no refined sugar', which is supported by the ingredient list.
The ingredient list contains several plant-based ingredients such as Oats, Makhana, Amaranth (Rajgira) Flour, Pumpkin Seeds, Watermelon Seeds, Almonds, and Walnuts, which contribute to protein content. The nutrition panel shows 11.99g of protein per 100g.

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.
