Decode Label Safety Score

This biscuit offers a convenient snack, but its primary ingredients are refined flour, sugar, and edible vegetable oil, contributing to a high caloric and saturated fat content. While it contains a trace amount of wheat bran, its nutritional impact is negligible. It is best consumed in moderation as an occasional treat rather than a regular dietary staple.

High in refined ingredients, sugar, and saturated fat; additives
This biscuit is primarily made from refined wheat flour, sugar, and edible vegetable oil, indicating a high content of calories, added sugars, and saturated fats. While it includes a small amount of wheat bran, this is not counted as a formulation strength.

Relevant if you have any of these allergies or intolerances.
Based on the declared ingredient list. This is a risk only to people with the allergy, not a general-population safety issue, so it does not lower the safety score.

Ingredient Concerns safety database
Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.
Wheat Flour
Wheat and wheat-derived ingredients contain gluten, which triggers an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease, causing intestinal damage. People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or wheat allergy must also avoid this ingredient. Labelled as a major allergen by FSSAI.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI Food Labelling Regulations; Celiac Disease Foundation
Wheat Flour: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Wheat Flour contains gluten, which is a declarable allergen under FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020. This product is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
The generic term 'Edible Vegetable Oil' does not specify the type of oil, which can include oils high in saturated fat. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to assess the exact nutritional profile, particularly for saturated fat content.
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 full ingredient list declares no a synthetic colour, which is exactly what this claim says. The label supports it.
The label lists no partially-hydrogenated fat — the source of industrial trans fat — and the panel does not declare any, so the “no trans fat” claim is supported by the label.
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.

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.
