Contains 'Permitted Synthetic Food Colour' without specific identification, which can be a concern for individuals sensitive to artificial colours.
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 refers to a serving size of 200ml, but the provided nutrition information is per 100g, and no conversion factor (like density) is available to accurately convert volume to weight for nutritional calculations.
The claim states 128 kcal per serve, but the provided nutrition information is 64 kcal per 100g, and without a density or weight per serving, the energy per 200ml serving cannot be accurately calculated.
The label states '5% of Adult's RDA' but does not specify which nutrient this percentage refers to, making it impossible to verify against the provided 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.
