Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This noodle product offers a blend of millet and amaranth flours, providing a more diverse grain base than typical wheat-only noodles. However, the high sodium content from the salt in the tastemaker is a significant concern, especially for regular consumption and for children. Individuals managing blood pressure or those with sodium sensitivities should be particularly cautious. The spice blend is generally well-tolerated, but the high percentage of pepper and chilli powder may be irritating for those with sensitive digestive systems.

High sodium content; diverse grain base with strong spices.
This noodle product features a blend of amaranth, millet, and whole wheat flours, offering a more varied nutritional profile than standard wheat noodles. However, it contains a high amount of salt in the tastemaker, which contributes significantly to the overall sodium content. This is a key consideration for individuals monitoring their sodium intake, including young children. The spice blend, while natural, is quite potent with high percentages of pepper and chilli powder.

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 cooking time is a preparation instruction that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
This describes the product’s packaging or its category, not a testable attribute of the food itself — so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.
The ingredient list confirms the presence of Amaranth Flour, Millet Flour, and Whole Wheat Flour, which are consistent with the product name.
The ingredient list confirms the presence of Amaranth Flour (Rajgira), Millet Flour (Kodo Millet & Little Millet), and Whole Wheat Flour.
The ingredient list does not contain Maida (Refined Wheat Flour).
The nutrition information states 0.6g of fat per 100g, which is very low, and the claim 'not fried' suggests no added oil during processing. The fat content is consistent with minimal or no added oil.
The ingredient list for the masala pack does not include onion or garlic.
The label declares 0 g added sugar; the 1.53 g of sugar shown is naturally occurring from grains and fruit. The "no added sugar" claim is supported by the label.
The nutrition information states 0 mg of Cholesterol per 100g.
The nutrition information states 0 g of trans fat 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.
