This snack contains several artificial additives, including synthetic food colours linked to hyperactivity in children and an artificial strawberry flavour. While it provides energy from sugar and fat, its nutritional value is limited, and the presence of multiple additives makes it less suitable for regular consumption, especially for children or individuals sensitive to food additives.

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.
Erythrosine (E127)
Erythrosine (FD&C Red No. 3) is a synthetic xanthene dye used to give sweets, drinks and bakery items a bright cherry-red colour. On 15 January 2025 the US FDA revoked its authorisation for food and ingested drugs under the Delaney Clause, which bars any food additive shown to induce cancer in humans or animals — the petition cited studies showing it caused cancer in male rats. The FDA stated that the way it causes cancer in male rats does not occur in humans; the revocation followed from the law once the animal finding was established, and food manufacturers have until 15 January 2027 to reformulate. FSSAI still permits it (INS 127) at up to 100-200 ppm depending on the food category, so it remains legal and in circulation in India — including in strawberry milkshakes, candies and chewing gum.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: US FDA order, 15 Jan 2025 (Delaney Clause revocation); FSSAI INS 127
Erythrosine: regulation, sources and other products →Sodium Carbonate (E500)
Used as a leavening agent and acidity regulator. Contributes to total dietary sodium. Individuals on sodium-restricted diets (hypertension, kidney disease, heart failure) should account for sodium from all food additive sources, not just table salt.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI INS 500
Sodium Carbonate: 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.

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 term 'Fine Bakery Wafers' is a descriptive term that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition information.
The ingredient list does not contain Maida (Refined Wheat Flour).
The ingredient list includes artificial flavouring substance (Strawberry).

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.
