Reviewed 5 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack is primarily a source of carbohydrates and fats, with a significant contribution from palmolein oil, which is high in saturated fat. While it offers some nutritional elements from flaked rice, lentils, and spinach, the presence of refined sugar and a synthetic food color (Brilliant Blue FCF) raises concerns. Brilliant Blue FCF is banned in several countries due to potential health effects, particularly in children. Individuals sensitive to food dyes or those monitoring their saturated fat and sugar intake should exercise caution.

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.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI; FDA; Allergy & Asthma Network
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 →Brilliant Blue (E133)
E133 is a synthetic triarylmethane dye. It is banned or restricted in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Sweden. May cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. No strong carcinogenic evidence, but the precautionary principle applies.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA; CSPI
Brilliant Blue: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Brilliant Blue FCF (INS/E 133), a synthetic food color linked to hyperactivity in children and banned in several European countries.
High in saturated fat from Palmolein oil, which can contribute to cardiovascular concerns.
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 claim 'All Time Snacks' is a marketing statement about suitability for consumption at any time, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition information.
The product name 'Khatta Meetha' translates to 'Sweet & Sour', and the ingredients list refined sugar and citric acid, which contribute to sweet and sour flavors.
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.
