Decode Label Safety Score
Score limited by
No nutrition panel — sugar, fat and salt could not be checked
No lane-by-lane breakdown: the label doesn't carry what the lanes are scored from.
This biscuit contains butter as a significant ingredient, contributing to its flavor and texture. While it uses maltitol as a sugar substitute, which can have a laxative effect if consumed in large quantities, the lack of a full nutrition panel prevents a complete assessment of its overall nutritional profile, including saturated fat and sodium content. It is generally suitable for healthy adults in moderation, but individuals with gluten sensitivity or those monitoring sugar alcohol intake should be cautious.

Contains butter, uses maltitol, lacks full nutrition transparency
This biscuit features butter as a key ingredient and uses maltitol as a sweetener. While maltitol is a sugar alcohol, excessive consumption can lead to digestive discomfort. The absence of a complete nutrition panel means we cannot fully assess its sugar, saturated fat, or sodium levels, which is a significant transparency concern for consumers.
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.

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
Wheat Flour contains gluten, which is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (Declarable allergen — FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020).
Maltitol, a sugar alcohol, can cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea if consumed in large amounts.
The absence of a nutrition panel prevents a full assessment of sugar, saturated fat, and sodium content, which is a significant transparency and health concern.
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.
Glycemic Index (GI) information is not provided on the label.
The product is sweetened with a sugar alcohol (e.g. maltitol), which is NOT sugar, and the panel declares no added sugar — so the “no added sugar” claim is supported. (Sugar alcohols can still have a mild laxative effect in quantity.)
The ingredient list does not contain Maida (Refined Wheat Flour).
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.
