Final score 1.5/10 · Concerning

Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed

This instant noodle product is primarily made of refined wheat flour and edible vegetable oil, with several additives. The most significant concern is the presence of ammonia caramel colour (E150c/d), which is classified by IARC as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen due to its 4-MEI by-product. Additionally, the product contains flavour enhancers, including Disodium Ribonucleotides, which can trigger gout in susceptible individuals. While it offers convenience, the high sodium content and the presence of these additives make it a concern most relevant to those with specific health conditions or sensitivities.

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.

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 →

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.

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.

Listed twice: an ingredient appears more than once in the same part of the list. This may indicate two separate ingredient blends in the formulation, or a duplication in how the label was recorded.

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.
