Ingredient Concerns safety database
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.
Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat
A vegetable oil hardened by hydrogenation — including vanaspati / dalda. Labelled without "partially", it is in practice fully hydrogenated, and post-FSSAI-2021 vanaspati is reformulated to meet the 2% industrial-trans-fat cap — so it is treated as the modern, trans-FREE form rather than a trans-fat source, but it is high in saturated fat, which raises LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. If an oil is explicitly PARTIALLY hydrogenated it does carry industrial trans fat; either way, the product's declared trans-fat figure on the nutrition panel is the definitive check.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO; FSSAI Trans Fatty Acids Regulation 2021; EFSA
Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil is a source of saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a healthy diet. While modern processes aim to minimize trans fats, it remains a highly processed ingredient.
The product contains 'Permitted Flavours' and 'Emulsifiers' without specific identification, which limits transparency for consumers who may have sensitivities or wish to avoid certain additives.
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 'Live Gluten Free with wheafree' is a lifestyle statement that cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone.
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 '5.7% of RDA' for energy per serve, but the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) value for energy is not provided on the label, making it unverifiable.
The ingredients list does not contain any gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, or rye, and includes naturally gluten-free grains such as rice, maize, and sorghum.
The product name indicates 'Choco Nutty Balls', and the ingredients list cocoa solids for 'choco' and almonds, cashewnuts, and other nuts for 'nutty'.
The nutrition information states 521.34 kcal per 100g, and with a serving size of 20g, this calculates to approximately 104.27 kcal per serving, which is close to the claimed 114 kcal.
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.
