Tricolor Pasta Creamy Corn
Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 5.5 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This pasta product is primarily semolina with a creamy corn sauce. While it provides a quick meal, consumers should be aware of the presence of refined palm oil, which is high in saturated fat and may contain processing contaminants according to EFSA. The product also contains flavour enhancers (disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate) which are purine sources and should be noted by individuals managing gout. The use of 'Nature identical flavouring substances' and 'Natural Flavours and Natural Flavouring Substances' indicates a blend of flavours whose specific compounds are not fully disclosed, which may be a concern for those with specific sensitivities. The high sodium and sugar content also warrant caution, especially for young children.

Pasta with refined palm oil, flavour enhancers.
This pasta product contains refined palm oil, which is high in saturated fat and may have processing contaminants. It also includes flavour enhancers that are purine sources, relevant for individuals with gout. The flavouring substances are not fully disclosed, which may be a concern for those with sensitivities. High levels of sodium and sugar are also present, particularly relevant for young children.

Ingredient Concerns safety database
Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.
Palm Oil
Palm oil is about half saturated fat, which raises LDL cholesterol when eaten regularly in quantity, and the WHO advises keeping saturated fat under 10 percent of energy. Refined palm oil also carries the highest levels of process contaminants among edible oils: glycidyl esters, which the European Food Safety Authority considers genotoxic and carcinogenic with no safe level, and 3-MCPD esters, for which it set a tolerable daily intake of 2 micrograms per kilogram of body weight in 2018. IARC lists glycidol as probably carcinogenic (Group 2A) and 3-MCPD as possibly carcinogenic (Group 2B). The contaminants form during the high-temperature deodorising step of refining, so unrefined palm oil carries less of them. EU maximum levels now apply to these contaminants in oils and in infant formula.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA CONTAM Panel opinions on glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters in food (2016) and 3-MCPD update (2018); IARC Monographs Volumes 77 and 101; WHO guideline on saturated fat and trans fat intake (2023)
Palm Oil: regulation, sources and other products →Disodium Ribonucleotides (E635)
E635 is a mixture of disodium inosinate (E631) and disodium guanylate (E627). Both are purine nucleotides, which the body breaks down to uric acid. People with gout or hyperuricaemia, or who have been advised to limit purines, may wish to limit foods containing it. The amounts used in foods are small, so the concern applies to people already managing uric acid rather than to the general population.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA; WHO; Arthritis Foundation
Disodium Ribonucleotides: regulation, sources and other products →Added Sugars
Sugars added to food, and the sugars in honey, syrups and fruit juice concentrates, are "free sugars". The WHO guideline recommends that they stay below 10% of total energy intake and suggests below 5% for additional benefit. Where the sugar sits in the ingredient list and how many grams the panel declares is what matters; this is information, because the nutrition score already prices the grams.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO, Guideline: Sugars intake for adults and children (2015)
Added Sugars: regulation, sources and other products →Flavouring Substances
Indian rules classify added flavours as natural, nature-identical (chemically synthesised copies of natural compounds) or artificial, and require the class to be declared. The label names the class, not the compounds, so a reader cannot see which substances make up the blend, or whether it carries something they avoid. This is information about transparency, not a finding of harm.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSS (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations 2011, flavours; FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations 2020
Flavouring Substances: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Refined Palm Oil is very high in saturated fat and may contain processing contaminants (glycidyl esters, 3-MCPD) according to EFSA's CONTAM opinion (2016). The levels depend on processing.
Flavour Enhancers (Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate) are purine sources, which is relevant for individuals managing gout.
The product contains 'Nature identical flavouring substances' and 'Natural Flavours and Natural Flavouring Substances', which are flavour blends whose individual compounds are not listed on the label, raising transparency concerns for those with specific sensitivities.
High levels of added sugar and sodium are present, which are general nutritional concerns, especially for young children.
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 label does not provide information about the cooking method (fried or not fried), so this claim cannot be verified.
The ingredients list 'NATURE IDENTICAL FLAVOURING SUBSTANCES' and 'NATURAL FLAVOURS AND NATURAL FLAVOURING SUBSTANCES', but does not specifically mention 'Cream Cheese Flavour'.
The ingredients list 'CREAMY CORN PASTA SAUCEMAKER' and 'DEHYDRATED CORN', supporting the claim.
The ingredients list 'WHEAT SEMOLINA', which is also known as Suji.
The ingredients list 'WHEAT SEMOLINA' and does not list 'Maida' (refined wheat flour).
Protein provides 11.5% of this product’s energy, meeting the 10% a “source of protein” claim requires. (Protein claims are set on % of energy, not % by weight.)

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.
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. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
