Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 2 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 product contains hydrogenated vegetable shortening, a modified (interesterified or hydrogenated) vegetable fat that does not yield a measurable amount in this product — the nutrition panel declares 0 g, though this fat class remains under research, which is a significant health concern. While it offers a convenient snack, the presence of undisclosed raising agents and emulsifiers also limits transparency. It is best consumed in strict moderation, especially for individuals monitoring their intake of saturated and trans fats.

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
Contains Hydrogenated Vegetable Shortening, a source of industrial trans fats, which are strongly linked to increased risk of heart disease and elevated LDL cholesterol levels. (Authority: WHO guidelines on trans fat intake)
The product lists 'Raising Agents' and 'Emulsifiers' without specifying the exact chemical compounds, which reduces transparency and makes a full safety assessment challenging. (Authority: FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020 for full disclosure)
Contains Wheat Flour, which includes gluten. This is a common allergen and unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. (Authority: FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020)
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.
This is a subjective marketing statement that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
