This biscuit product contains multiple artificial flavorings and an artificial color (Tartrazine) linked to hyperactivity in children, making it a concern most relevant to young children. While it provides some vitamins and minerals, these do not offset the concerns from high sugar and saturated fat from refined palm oil. Individuals with aspirin sensitivity should also be cautious due to Tartrazine.

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.

Palm Oil: regulation, sources and other products →Tartrazine (E102)
Tartrazine is a synthetic azo dye. It can cause hypersensitivity reactions in aspirin-sensitive individuals and asthma patients. The EU requires a warning label ("may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children") on foods containing E102.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA 2009; EU Regulation 1333/2008
Tartrazine: 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.

Ponceau 4R (E124) is an artificial color linked to hyperactivity in children. (Authority: EU Reg. 1333/2008 Annex V)
Refined Palm Oil is high in saturated fat, a cardiovascular concern, and may contain processing contaminants like glycidyl esters. (Authority: EFSA CONTAM opinion 2016)
Sodium Metabisulfite is a sulfite preservative that can trigger allergic reactions, particularly in asthmatics.
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 nutrition information states the product contains Vitamin A and Zinc.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
A blend of refined vegetable oils, judged as a single concern — a high saturated-fat source — rather than one flag per oil. The individual oils are listed below and in "What the label actually shows".
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.
