Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 5.5 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack offers a simple ingredient list with traditional components. While it contains butter, which contributes to its saturated fat content, and is an energy-dense fried snack, it avoids many of the artificial additives often found in processed foods. The primary considerations for consumers are the overall fat and calorie content typical of fried snacks, and the sodium level from common salt. It is generally suitable for healthy adults in moderation, but individuals monitoring fat or sodium intake should be mindful of serving sizes.

What’s favorable
- Cumin

Traditional snack with butter, high in fat and calories
This snack is made with rice flour, besan, and roasted Bengal gram flour, fried in rice bran oil, and seasoned with butter, cumin, salt, and asafoetida. It's a relatively clean label for a processed snack, free from artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. However, as a fried product, it is high in calories and fat, and contains common salt, so portion control is important for those managing their intake of these nutrients.
Declared allergens: Milk, Soy and Gluten
Relevant if you have any of these allergies or intolerances.
Based on the declared ingredient list. This is a risk only to people with the allergy, not a general-population safety issue, so it does not lower the safety score.

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.
