Decode Label Safety Score

Score limited by

No nutrition panel — sugar, fat and salt could not be checked

No lane-by-lane breakdown: the label doesn't carry what the lanes are scored from.

Score capped: No nutrition panel — sugar, fat and salt could not be checked

This biscuit offers a blend of whole grains and prebiotics, which are positive for digestive health. However, the lack of a nutrition panel means we cannot assess the levels of added sugar, saturated fat, and sodium, which are common concerns in processed snacks. The presence of maltodextrin and jaggery powder indicates added sugars, and refined sunflower oil contributes to fat content. While generally suitable for most, individuals monitoring their intake of these components should exercise caution due to the missing nutritional information.

Whole grain biscuit with prebiotics; nutritional values unverified.

This biscuit combines various flours, including oat and whole wheat, with fructooligosaccharides for gut health. However, without a nutrition panel, the exact amounts of added sugar, saturated fat, and salt cannot be determined, which is a significant transparency gap for a processed food. It's generally suitable for most, but those with dietary restrictions for sugar, fat, or sodium should be cautious.

Okay for: Healthy adults in moderation

Declared allergens: Milk and Gluten

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.

Decode Label Analysis

No nutrition panel was provided, so key nutritional values like added sugar, saturated fat, and sodium cannot be assessed. This significantly limits the ability to evaluate the product's overall health impact.

Whole Wheat Flour contains gluten, which is a common allergen and unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Skimmed Milk Powder contains lactose, which can be an allergen for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergy.

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.
