How we got 6.2 ShowHide
Reviewed 2 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack mix is primarily composed of corn flakes, rice flakes, and peanuts, providing a base of grains and protein. While it contains a variety of spices and herbs, the presence of refined wheat flour, added sugar, and iodised salt contributes to its processed nature. Individuals with peanut allergies must strictly avoid this product due to the high peanut content. The overall nutritional profile, particularly the sugar and sodium levels, suggests it is best consumed in moderation, especially for children.

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 →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.

Claim check
1 claim not supported by label dataFront-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.
While corn flakes and rice flakes are present, the ingredient list also includes 'Refined Wheat Flour (Maida)', which is not a whole grain, making the 'Whole Grain Snack' claim misleading.
The label states '100% Roasted', but there is no information on the label to verify that all ingredients or the entire product is roasted.
The product name describes the flavor profile as sweet and sour, which is a descriptive claim about the taste.
Mint (Pudina) is listed in the ingredients at 0.5% and also as part of the Mint Seasoning Mix at 0.4%.
Corn Flakes (28%), Rice Flakes (21%), Peanuts (20%), and Potato Sticks (3%) are all listed as primary ingredients, and the claim states it is a roasted snack.

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.
