No nutrition panel was captured, but the ingredient list shows a sugar/refined-fat source high up, so this is scored as a sugar-/fat-forward product. The rating is provisional — capture the nutrition facts for a full assessment.
This snack product is primarily composed of gram flour and a blend of edible vegetable oils, which contribute to its high saturated fat content. While the specific oils used can vary, the inclusion of palmolein oil suggests a significant saturated fat contribution. The product also contains common salt and seasonings, which can contribute to a higher sodium intake. The lack of a nutrition panel means specific values for fat, sugar, and sodium are not available, making it difficult for consumers to make fully informed dietary choices.

Palm Oil
Palm oil is very high in saturated fatty acids (~50%), which raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. Refined palm oil can also carry processing contaminants (glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters), which EFSA assessed in 2016.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO; Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; EFSA CONTAM opinion (2016)
Palm Oil: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
The Edible Vegetable Oil blend, particularly Palmolein Oil, is high in saturated fat, which is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The EFSA CONTAM opinion (2016) also notes potential contaminants (glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters) in refined palm oil, which are processing-dependent.
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 describes the product’s packaging or its category, not a testable attribute of the food itself — so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.
The claim 'GREAT TASTE' is subjective and cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The claim 'AUTHENTIC INDIAN' refers to the cultural origin or style of the product, which cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The claim 'CRISPY & CRUNCHY' describes the texture of the product, which cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
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.
