Decode Label Safety Score
Score limited by
Contains ammonia caramel colour (E150c/d) — which can generate 4-MEI during manufacture — IARC classifies 4-MEI as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans); this label does not state its concentration
No lane-by-lane breakdown: the label doesn't carry what the lanes are scored from.
The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This snack product is primarily composed of various flours and rice bran oil, offering a base of common food ingredients. However, the presence of ammonia caramel colour (INS 150d), which carries a by-product classified by IARC as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen, is a significant concern that limits its overall safety rating. Additionally, the inclusion of flavour enhancers INS 627 and INS 631 may trigger gout in susceptible individuals. While it contains some whole wheat flour and gram flour, the overall formulation is typical of a processed snack food with multiple additives.

Processed snack with IARC 2B carcinogen-linked colour and flavour enhancers
The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This snack contains ammonia caramel colour (INS 150d), which is associated with a by-product classified by IARC as a possible human carcinogen. It also includes flavour enhancers that may be problematic for individuals with gout. While it provides some dietary fiber from whole wheat and gram flour, it is a processed food with several additives.
Consider this product carefully if you are

Declared allergens: Milk 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.

Watch out for
Ammonia caramel colour (INS 150d) due to its association with 4-MEI, an IARC Group 2B carcinogen.
Flavour enhancers (INS 627, INS 631) for individuals prone to gout.
Added sugar and iodised salt contribute to the overall sugar and sodium content, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Milk solids are present, which is an allergen for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergy.

Disodium Inosinate (E631)
Disodium inosinate is a nucleotide flavour enhancer derived from meat or fish. High in purines; individuals with gout or elevated uric acid should avoid products containing this additive.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA INS 631
Disodium Inosinate: regulation, sources and other products →Disodium Guanylate (E627)
Disodium guanylate is a nucleotide flavour enhancer high in purines. Often found alongside MSG or E635. Gout sufferers and those with kidney stones should avoid foods containing E627.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA INS 627
Disodium Guanylate: 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 →Caramel Colour (Class III & IV) (E150c)
Classes III and IV of caramel colour (INS 150c/150d) are made with ammonia, a process that can generate 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) as a by-product. IARC classifies 4-MEI as Group 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans, and California lists it under Proposition 65 with a warning threshold — though EFSA's own re-evaluation did not reach the same level of concern as IARC's classification. This label does not state the product's 4-MEI concentration, so exposure from this specific product cannot be determined from the ingredient list alone. It is the colour that makes colas and dark sauces brown. Classes I and II are made without ammonia and do not carry this concern.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: IARC Monograph Vol. 101 (4-MEI); California Proposition 65; EFSA re-evaluation of caramel colours (2011)
Caramel Colour (Class III & IV): 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
Contains ammonia caramel colour (INS 150d), which is associated with 4-MEI, a by-product classified by IARC as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen.
Contains flavour enhancers Disodium Guanylate (INS 627) and Disodium Inosinate (INS 631), which are purine-containing compounds that may trigger gout in susceptible individuals.
Contains Whole Wheat Flour (Atta), which is a source of gluten and an allergen for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Combined Effects interactions
These two flavour enhancers (Disodium Guanylate and Disodium Inosinate) are often used synergistically to boost umami flavour. Both contain purines and can contribute to increased uric acid levels, potentially exacerbating gout symptoms in sensitive individuals.
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.
This nutrient figure isn’t in our database for this product yet, so we can’t check the claim against the panel — it isn’t being called false, we just don’t have the numbers on file.
The ingredient list specifies 'Edible Vegetable Oil (Rice Bran Oil)' and does not list palm oil.
The ingredient list includes corn flour, whole wheat flour, rice flour, gram flour, and oats, which are multiple grains.
The ingredient list includes 'Milk Solids', which is a component of dahi (curd), and the product is described as 'Multigrain Chips', which can be used as papdi.
The ingredient list includes five grains: wheat, rice, corn, gram, and oats.

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.

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.
