Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 2.2 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 noodle product is primarily made from millet and wheat flours, offering a base that is generally well-tolerated. However, it contains several flavour enhancers, Disodium Guanylate (INS 627) and Disodium Inosinate (INS 631), which are purine-based and should be approached with caution by individuals managing gout. The presence of Groundnut is a significant concern for those with peanut allergies, as reactions can be severe and life-threatening. While the product includes a variety of spices and condiments, the overall nutritional profile is impacted by added sugar and sodium, which are common in processed snack foods. The inclusion of Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein may also introduce process contaminants, though this is an informational concern rather than a direct hazard. Overall, it is suitable for healthy adults in moderation, but specific dietary restrictions and health conditions warrant careful consideration.

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.
Peanuts
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and severe food allergies, capable of causing anaphylaxis — a potentially fatal allergic reaction. Even trace amounts (cross-contamination) can trigger reactions. Peanut allergy is usually lifelong and requires strict avoidance. Always carry an epinephrine auto-injector if allergic.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI; FDA; Allergy & Asthma Network
Peanuts: regulation, sources and other products →Disodium Inosinate (E631)
Disodium inosinate is a nucleotide flavour enhancer derived from meat or fish. High in purines; individuals with gout or elevated uric acid should avoid products containing this additive.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA INS 631
Disodium Inosinate: regulation, sources and other products →Disodium Guanylate (E627)
Disodium guanylate is a nucleotide flavour enhancer high in purines. Often found alongside MSG or E635. Gout sufferers and those with kidney stones should avoid foods containing E627.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA INS 627
Disodium Guanylate: regulation, sources and other products →Disodium Ribonucleotides (E635)
E635 is a mixture of disodium inosinate (E631) and disodium guanylate (E627). Both are purine nucleotides, which the body breaks down to uric acid. People with gout or hyperuricaemia, or who have been advised to limit purines, may wish to limit foods containing it. The amounts used in foods are small, so the concern applies to people already managing uric acid rather than to the general population.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA; WHO; Arthritis Foundation
Disodium Ribonucleotides: regulation, sources and other products →Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein
Hydrolysed vegetable protein is a savoury flavour base made by breaking vegetable protein into amino acids, which gives a concentrated glutamate taste. When it is made with acid, chloropropanols such as 3-MCPD can form as a by-product, and the EU food safety authority has set a tolerable daily intake for 3-MCPD. The label does not say how it was made, so this is information, not a finding about this product.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA Panel on Contaminants, Risks for human health related to the presence of 3- and 2-monochloropropanediol (MCPD) and glycidyl fatty acid esters in food, EFSA Journal 2016;14(5):4426
Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein: regulation, sources and other products →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 →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
Groundnut is a major allergen and can cause life-threatening anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals. This is a declarable allergen under FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020.
Disodium Guanylate (INS 627) and Disodium Inosinate (INS 631) are purine-based flavour enhancers. Individuals managing gout should be cautious as purines can contribute to uric acid levels.
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, especially acid-hydrolysed versions, can potentially carry process contaminants. While not a direct hazard, it's an informational concern.
Wheat Flour contains gluten, making this product unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. This is a declarable allergen under FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020.
Unrefined Sugar contributes to the 'added sugars' content. The WHO advises keeping intake of free sugars under 10% of total energy, ideally under 5%.
Claim check
1 claim not supported by label dataFront-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 ingredient list includes flavour enhancers INS 627 and INS 631, which are disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate, often used in conjunction with MSG or as MSG replacers, and are considered flavor enhancers.
The cooking time claim cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The product name states 'Instant Millet Noodles', and the ingredient list confirms the presence of Little millet flour.
The label declares 14.7g of protein — at least the 8.8g claimed. A beneficial nutrient the pack UNDERSTATES is not a contradiction, so the claim holds.
The nutrition information shows 197 mg of Calcium and 8.08 mg of Iron per 100g, supporting the claim of being rich in these minerals.
The nutrition information states 9.57g of fiber per 100g, which is considered a high amount.
The ingredient list does not contain 'Maida' (refined wheat flour). It lists 'wheat flour', which is a different ingredient.
The ingredient list confirms the presence of 'Little millet flour' as the first ingredient, supporting the claim.

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.
