How we got 3.9 ShowHide
Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack mix contains several beneficial ingredients like corn flakes, peanuts, and cashews, which contribute to its texture and flavor. However, it includes Caramel Colour, which is an ammonia-process caramel (E150c/d) and may contain 4-MEI, classified by IARC as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans). The product also contains multiple acidity regulators and an anticaking agent, which are common in processed foods. Individuals with peanut allergies must avoid this product due to the presence of peanuts, a major allergen. The overall sugar and sodium content should be considered, especially for young children.

Contains major allergens and an IARC-classified caramel colour
The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This snack mix contains peanuts and cashews, which are major allergens and can cause severe reactions in sensitive individuals. It also includes Caramel Colour, which is an ammonia-process caramel (E150c/d) that may contain 4-MEI, a substance classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans. The product is highly processed and contains multiple additives, which may not be suitable for those seeking less processed food options.
Declared allergens: Peanuts and Tree nuts

Based on the declared ingredient list. This is a risk only to people with the allergy, not a general-population safety issue, so it does not lower the safety score.

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.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
Listed twice: an ingredient appears more than once in the same part of the list. This may indicate two separate ingredient blends in the formulation, or a duplication in how the label was recorded.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
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.
The label declares each of these as a blend and then lists what is in it. The components appear in the groups above on their own merits, so the blend itself is shown here rather than counted a second time.

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.
