Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 3.3 ShowHide
Reviewed 5 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This beverage mix is primarily composed of sugars and salt, with a significant amount of added sugar and sodium. While Beta-Carotenes offer a minor positive, the overall nutritional profile is dominated by high sugar and sodium, making it unsuitable for regular consumption, especially for children or individuals monitoring their intake of these components.
At a glance
From the declared label — not a lab testFindings to weigh
What’s favorable
- Beta-Carotenes
High in sugar and sodium; undisclosed additives raise transparency concerns.
The score is held down by this product's nutrition profile, which dominates the assessment regardless of the rest of the formulation. This beverage mix is largely made of sugar and salt, contributing to high levels of both. The label does not fully disclose the specific 'Acidity Regulator', 'Anticaking Agent', or 'Nature Identical Flavour' used, which means the exact substances are unknown. This makes it a concern most relevant to those watching their sugar or sodium intake, and for children.
Consider this product carefully if you are
- Looking for a lower-sugar option — Added sugar is 75.8 g per 100 g.
Concern breakdown
Score out of 10 · higher = fewer concernsHow this product performs on each concern we check for beverage. This is a breakdown of the same evidence behind the score above — not a separate verdict.
Toddlers & young children (1–5)
LimitThis product is high in added sugar and sodium, which can contribute to unhealthy dietary patterns and potential health issues in young children. Limiting consumption is advised.
Why the score is capped

What's good
Contains Beta-Carotenes, a natural pigment and Vitamin A precursor.
Watch out for
High added sugar content from Sugar and Dextrose.
High sodium content from Iodized Salt and Black Salt.

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.
Added Sugars
Sugars added to food, and the sugars in honey, syrups and fruit juice concentrates, are "free sugars". The WHO guideline recommends that they stay below 10% of total energy intake and suggests below 5% for additional benefit. Where the sugar sits in the ingredient list and how many grams the panel declares is what matters; this is information, because the nutrition score already prices the grams.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO, Guideline: Sugars intake for adults and children (2015)
Added Sugars: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
This lack of transparency makes it difficult to assess potential sensitivities or avoid specific compounds.
This product is high in both added sugar (Sugar, Dextrose) and sodium (Iodized Salt, Black Salt), which are significant concerns for overall dietary health, especially with regular consumption.
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 ingredients list dried mango powder and nature identical flavour (Aam Papad), which supports the Aam Papad flavour claim.
The ingredients list dried mango powder, nature identical flavour (Aam Papad), and various spices, supporting the claim of aam papad lemonade infused with spices.
The nutrition information states 0 mg of cholesterol per serving.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
The label declares each of these as a blend and then lists what is in it. The components appear in the groups above on their own merits, so the blend itself is shown here rather than counted a second time.

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.
