Reviewed 4 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack mix is primarily a source of calories and fat, with a significant amount of saturated fat from the edible vegetable oils, including palm olein oil. While it offers some protein from gram flour and peanuts, the overall nutritional profile is dominated by fat, which is a concern for cardiovascular health. The presence of multiple vegetable oils, including palm olein, contributes to the high saturated fat content. It is best consumed in strict moderation, especially for individuals monitoring their fat intake.

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.
Peanuts
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and severe food allergies, capable of causing anaphylaxis — a potentially fatal allergic reaction. Even trace amounts (cross-contamination) can trigger reactions. Peanut allergy is usually lifelong and requires strict avoidance. Always carry an epinephrine auto-injector if allergic.

Peanuts: regulation, sources and other products →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 product contains Palm olein oil, which is high in saturated fat. High intake of saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Additionally, refined palm oil may contain processing contaminants like glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters, which are considered potential genotoxic carcinogens by EFSA, though levels vary with processing.
The term 'Edible Vegetable Oil' is non-specific, which limits transparency regarding the exact fat profile and potential health implications of the oils used.
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' is a cultural and subjective descriptor that 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.

A blend of refined vegetable oils, judged as a single concern — a high saturated-fat source — rather than one flag per oil. The individual oils are listed below and in "What the label actually shows".
These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.

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.
