This mixed vegetable pickle offers a rich blend of traditional Indian flavors, primarily from its vegetable base, mustard oil, and a variety of spices. While it provides a good source of flavor, consumers should be mindful of the sodium content from iodised salt, which is typical for pickles and should be consumed in moderation as a condiment.

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 claim refers to the brand's history, which cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
This describes the product’s packaging or its category, not a testable attribute of the food itself — so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.
This statement refers to distribution channels and cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The ingredient list confirms the presence of various vegetables and fruits, supporting the 'Mixed Pickle' claim.
The nutrition information states that the product contains 0 mg of cholesterol per 100g.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.

Colour shows the per-100g level (green = low, amber = moderate, red = high), from the product's label. This is a condiment — used by the pinch or the spoonful, not eaten by the plate — so a red row here means the product is dense in that nutrient, not that a serving of it is. The score judges its nutrition on what a 15 g serving actually delivers.

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.
