Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.7 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This noodle product is primarily composed of wheat flour, with a seasoning blend that includes several additives. The presence of disodium 5'-ribonucleotides (INS 635) as a flavour enhancer is a notable concern for individuals sensitive to MSG-like compounds. While the product contains various spices and natural flavourings, the overall formulation includes multiple acidity regulators and an anticaking agent, contributing to its ultra-processed nature. The high sodium content, typical for instant noodle products, is a significant nutritional consideration, particularly for children and those monitoring their sodium intake.

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.

Claim check
1 claim not supported by label dataFront-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 ingredient list includes 'Wheat flour', which is also known as Maida or refined wheat flour, contradicting the 'No Maida' claim.
The claim about being a more planet-conscious protein choice is a sustainability claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition panel.
The claim of being sustainable is a sustainability claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition panel.
The claim 'naturally fermented for healthy slurping' is a process and health benefit claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition panel.
The label lists this only as a flavouring (nature-identical or artificial), which is made to resemble the ingredient rather than being it, so the pack cannot confirm the ingredient the name implies.
The nutrition information states 10.5g protein per 100g, and with a serving size of 70g, this equates to 7.35g of protein per serving, which supports the claim of 7g protein.
No ingredient on this label is palm oil, so nothing in the list contradicts this claim.
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.
