Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 4 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This chocolate candy is primarily a source of added sugars and saturated fats, with hydrogenated vegetable fats contributing to the high saturated fat content. While it offers a sweet treat, the significant sugar and fat load means it should be consumed in moderation, especially by children, due to the potential for excessive intake of these components. The presence of artificial and nature-identical flavouring substances, along with a colour, indicates a highly processed food.

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.
Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat
A vegetable oil hardened by hydrogenation — including vanaspati / dalda. Labelled without "partially", it is in practice fully hydrogenated, and post-FSSAI-2021 vanaspati is reformulated to meet the 2% industrial-trans-fat cap — so it is treated as the modern, trans-FREE form rather than a trans-fat source, but it is high in saturated fat, which raises LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. If an oil is explicitly PARTIALLY hydrogenated it does carry industrial trans fat; either way, the product's declared trans-fat figure on the nutrition panel is the definitive check.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO; FSSAI Trans Fatty Acids Regulation 2021; EFSA
Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat: regulation, sources and other products →Fractionated Fat
Fractionation splits a fat into parts by melting point: a solid "stearin" fraction and a liquid "olein" one. It creates no trans fat. But the two fractions differ sharply — stearin is MORE saturated than the oil it came from, olein less — so an unqualified "fractionated fat" leaves both the source oil and the fraction undeclared, and with them the saturated-fat profile. In Indian packaged food it is most often palm-derived. Where the nutrition panel states saturated fat, that measured figure is the reliable number, not the ingredient name.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards) Regulations — fats and oils; WHO saturated fat intake guideline (2023)
Fractionated Fat: regulation, sources and other products →Potassium Carbonate (E501)
Potassium carbonate adds to dietary potassium load. For patients with chronic kidney disease who cannot efficiently excrete potassium, excess potassium can lead to dangerous hyperkalaemia (elevated blood potassium), which can cause cardiac arrhythmias.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI INS 501; National Kidney Foundation
Potassium Carbonate: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Hydrogenated Vegetable Fats are a significant source of saturated fat, which can contribute to increased LDL cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk when consumed in excess.
The product contains high amounts of added sugars (Sugar, Liquid Glucose), which can contribute to excessive caloric intake, dental caries, and other health issues if consumed frequently or in large quantities.

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.
