Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.8 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
The score is held down by this product's nutrition profile, which dominates the assessment regardless of the rest of the formulation. This guava beverage contains a significant amount of added sugar, which is a primary nutritional concern, especially for children. While guava pulp provides some natural content, the overall formulation is driven by sugar and unspecific additives. Consumers seeking to limit sugar intake or those with sensitivities to additives should exercise caution.

Decode Label Analysis
This lack of transparency means specific substances, which could include common allergens or additives of concern, are not identified on the label.
High added sugar content is a dominant nutritional concern, particularly for regular consumption and for children, contributing to excess caloric intake.
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 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.
The label states 6% of Adult's RDA for energy, but the specific RDA value used for calculation is not provided, making it unverifiable.
Guava pulp is listed as the second ingredient, making up 22% of the product.
The ingredient list does not contain any ingredients commonly identified as preservatives.
The nutrition information states 57 kcal per 100g, which calculates to 114 kcal for a 200ml 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.
