Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 3.9 ShowHide
Reviewed 3 times · 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 biscuit offers a unique blend of millets and oyster mushroom, providing dietary fiber and some beneficial compounds. However, the presence of jaggery as a primary sweetener contributes to a significant sugar load, which is a concern for regular consumption, especially for children. While the spices offer flavor and potential antioxidant benefits, the overall nutritional profile is dominated by the added sugar. It is best consumed in moderation as an occasional treat rather than a health food.

Millet and Mushroom Biscuit with High Added Sugar Content
This biscuit combines various millets and oyster mushroom, offering fiber and unique flavors from curry leaves, mint, and spices. However, jaggery is a primary ingredient, contributing to a high sugar content. This makes it less suitable for frequent consumption, particularly for children, due to the impact of added sugars on overall diet.

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.
