Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack offers a blend of traditional flours and spices, making it a flavourful option. However, the presence of certain additives like INS 551 (Silicon Dioxide) and the use of 'Natural & Nature Identical Flavouring Substances' warrant consideration for those seeking a cleaner label. While generally suitable for most adults in moderation, individuals sensitive to food additives or those monitoring their intake of processed ingredients may wish to exercise caution.

Claim check
1 claim not supported by label dataFront-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.
A serving contains 4.8g of fibre, which is not considered 'fibre rich' based on typical nutritional guidelines for a snack.
The term 'Healthy' is subjective and cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts. The 'Baked' claim cannot be verified from the provided information.
The ingredient list includes "Natura & Nature identical flavouring substances" but does not specifically mention 'Classic Cheese' or any cheese ingredients to confirm the flavour.
The ingredient list contains Jowar Flour and Rice Flour, which are naturally gluten-free, but there is no explicit 'Gluten Free' certification or statement on the label to confirm this claim for the final product.
The nutrition information states that a serving provides 1.3 mg of Iron and 60.4 mg of Calcium, which supports the claim of being a good source.
Amaranth Flour is listed as the first ingredient, confirming the presence of amaranth in the crispies.
Protein provides 10.7% of this product’s energy, meeting the 10% a “source of protein” claim requires. (Protein claims are set on % of energy, not % by weight.)
The ingredient list does not contain any added sugars, and the nutrition information shows a low sugar content of 0.4g per serving.
The nutrition information explicitly states 0 mg of Cholesterol per serving.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
