This biscuit contains a significant amount of palm oil, contributing to high saturated fat intake, which is a concern for cardiovascular health. It also includes TBHQ, a synthetic antioxidant linked to health issues at high doses, and sodium metabisulphite, a preservative that can trigger asthma and allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. While it provides energy from wheat and sugar, the presence of these additives and high saturated fat makes it a concern most relevant to those with sensitivities or cardiovascular concerns.

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.
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 →TBHQ (E319)
TBHQ is a synthetic antioxidant used to extend shelf life of oils and fried foods. Animal studies at high doses showed tumour formation. Acceptable daily intake (ADI) is 0–0.7 mg/kg body weight. Children who consume large amounts of TBHQ-containing snacks may approach or exceed safe limits.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA 2004; FDA 21 CFR 172.185
TBHQ: regulation, sources and other products →Sulphur Dioxide (E220)
Sulphur dioxide and sulphites (E220–E228) are preservatives used in dried fruit, wine, and processed foods. They can trigger severe asthma attacks and anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals, particularly asthmatics. Products with >10 ppm sulphites must be labelled in India and EU.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI; EU Directive 2007/68/EC
Sulphur Dioxide: regulation, sources and other products →Sodium Carbonate (E500)
Used as a leavening agent and acidity regulator. Contributes to total dietary sodium. Individuals on sodium-restricted diets (hypertension, kidney disease, heart failure) should account for sodium from all food additive sources, not just table salt.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI INS 500
Sodium Carbonate: regulation, sources and other products →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.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI Food Labelling Regulations; Celiac Disease Foundation
Wheat Flour: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Palm Oil is high in saturated fat, which is a cardiovascular concern. EFSA has also raised concerns about glycidyl esters contaminants formed during refining, though levels depend on processing.
TBHQ (E319) is a synthetic antioxidant linked to tumours in animal studies at high doses. It is declarable above 10 mg/kg by FSSAI and is of particular relevance to people with asthma.
Sodium Metabisulphite (E223) is a preservative that can trigger asthma and allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. It is declarable above 10 mg/kg by FSSAI.
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 "Bake to perfection" is a subjective statement about quality that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition information.
The claim "Special OFFER PACK" is a promotional statement that cannot be verified from the 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.
