Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.8 ShowHide
Reviewed 6 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This biscuit product is a highly processed snack, primarily composed of refined carbohydrates and fats, with significant amounts of added sugar. The presence of refined palm oil contributes to a high saturated fat content, which is a cardiovascular concern. While it offers some fiber from oat flakes and protein from milk solids, these are overshadowed by the overall nutritional profile dominated by sugar and refined ingredients. The use of artificial and nature-identical flavorings, along with multiple raising agents and maltodextrin, indicates a formulation focused on palatability and texture rather than whole-food nutrition. It is best consumed in moderation, especially by individuals monitoring their sugar and saturated fat intake.

Highly Processed Biscuit with Significant Added Sugar and Saturated Fat
This biscuit is a highly processed snack, high in added sugars and saturated fat from refined palm oil, which are concerns for cardiovascular health. It also contains artificial and nature-identical flavorings. While it includes oats and almonds, these are present in smaller amounts compared to the main ingredients like wheat flour, sugar, and palm oil. It's best consumed sparingly due to its nutritional profile.

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 →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
This product is high in added sugars (Sugar, Liquid Glucose, Invert Syrup), which can contribute to weight gain, dental issues, and increased risk of chronic diseases if consumed in excess.
Contains Refined Palm Oil, which is high in saturated fat and has been associated with cardiovascular health concerns. EFSA has also noted concerns regarding processing contaminants like glycidyl esters.
Contains multiple raising agents, including a phosphate-based one (INS 450(i)). While generally safe, excessive phosphate intake can be a concern for individuals with kidney issues.
Contains artificial and nature-identical flavouring substances, which contribute to the ultra-processed nature of the product. Some individuals may prefer to avoid these.

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.
