Decode Label Safety Score
Score limited by
No nutrition panel — sugar, fat and salt could not be checked
No lane-by-lane breakdown: the label doesn't carry what the lanes are scored from.
This product contains hydrogenated fats, which are a source of industrial trans fats and high in saturated fat, raising concerns for cardiovascular health. It also uses artificial and nature-identical flavouring substances, and the presence of maltitol and sucralose means it is not suitable for young children due to potential laxative effects. While it includes some beneficial ingredients like oats and quinoa, these are present in relatively small or trace amounts, with refined wheat flour forming the primary base. Consumers with gluten sensitivity should also be aware of the wheat content.

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 product is sweetened with a sugar alcohol (e.g. maltitol), which is NOT sugar, and the panel declares no added sugar — so the “no added sugar” claim is supported. (Sugar alcohols can still have a mild laxative effect in quantity.)

The ingredients list includes Oats and Quinoa.

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.

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.
