How we got 5.5 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This snack is primarily made from Bengal gram flour and rice flours, with a significant amount of physically refined rice bran oil (32%), contributing to its high fat and calorie content. While it contains beneficial spices and a small amount of flax seeds, its overall nutritional profile is typical of a fried snack. The high sodium content from rock salt is a key concern, especially for individuals monitoring their sodium intake and for young children. The presence of flax seeds is too low to offer significant nutritional benefits.

High in fat and calories from refined oil; high sodium content
This snack is high in fat and calories due to the significant amount of physically refined rice bran oil used in its preparation. It also contains a notable amount of sodium from rock salt, which is a consideration for those managing blood pressure or limiting salt intake. While it includes various spices and a trace amount of flax seeds, these do not offset the overall nutritional profile of a fried snack.

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.
