Reviewed 9 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed

This instant noodle product contains several ingredients that raise health concerns, particularly for regular consumption. It includes refined wheat flour and refined palm oil as primary components, contributing to a high saturated fat content. The presence of flavour enhancers INS 627 and INS 631, which are disodium ribonucleotides, is a significant concern for individuals prone to gout due to their purine content. While it contains some dehydrated vegetables, these are present in relatively small amounts compared to the main ingredients. The product also uses nature identical and natural flavouring substances, which, while common, contribute to the ultra-processed nature of the food. Individuals with gout or those monitoring their saturated fat intake should exercise caution.

Ultra-processed instant noodles with high saturated fat and gout-triggering flavour enhancers.

This instant noodle product is primarily made from refined wheat flour and refined palm oil, contributing to its high saturated fat content. It contains flavour enhancers (INS 627, INS 631) that are purine-rich and should be avoided by individuals with gout. While it includes some vegetables, the overall formulation is ultra-processed with multiple additives.

Flavours not disclosed — the label does not say which substance this is

Rule F-CAP-13

What's good

Includes a variety of dehydrated vegetables, adding some nutritional value and texture.

Contains a significant amount of natural spices and condiments for flavour.

Watch out for

High in refined carbohydrates (Maida) and saturated fat (Refined Palm Oil).

Contains flavour enhancers (INS 627, INS 631) that are a concern for individuals with gout.

Multiple additives contribute to the ultra-processed nature of the product.

Contains common allergens like wheat gluten and soy.

Stabilizers [INS 339(ii), INS 450(iii)] — disodium phosphate and tetrasodium pyrophosphate. Phosphates are common food additives, but excessive intake can be a concern for kidney health.

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.

Disodium Inosinate (E631)

Disodium inosinate is a nucleotide flavour enhancer derived from meat or fish. High in purines; individuals with gout or elevated uric acid should avoid products containing this additive.

Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA INS 631

Disodium Inosinate: regulation, sources and other products →

Disodium Guanylate (E627)

Disodium guanylate is a nucleotide flavour enhancer high in purines. Often found alongside MSG or E635. Gout sufferers and those with kidney stones should avoid foods containing E627.

Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA INS 627

Disodium Guanylate: regulation, sources and other products →

Palm Oil

Palm oil is very high in saturated fatty acids (~50%), which raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. Refined palm oil can also carry processing contaminants (glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters), which EFSA assessed in 2016.

Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO; Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; EFSA CONTAM opinion (2016)

Palm Oil: regulation, sources and other products →

Disodium Ribonucleotides (E635)

E635 is a mixture of disodium inosinate (E631) and disodium guanylate (E627). Both are purine nucleotides, which the body breaks down to uric acid. People with gout or hyperuricaemia, or who have been advised to limit purines, may wish to limit foods containing it. The amounts used in foods are small, so the concern applies to people already managing uric acid rather than to the general population.

Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EFSA; WHO; Arthritis Foundation

Disodium Ribonucleotides: regulation, sources and other products →

Potassium Carbonate (E501)

Potassium carbonate adds to dietary potassium load. For patients with chronic kidney disease who cannot efficiently excrete potassium, excess potassium can lead to dangerous hyperkalaemia (elevated blood potassium), which can cause cardiac arrhythmias.

Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI INS 501; National Kidney Foundation

Potassium Carbonate: 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.

Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI Food Labelling Regulations; Celiac Disease Foundation

Wheat Flour: regulation, sources and other products →

Decode Label Analysis

Flavour enhancers INS 627 (Disodium Guanylate) and INS 631 (Disodium Inosinate) are purine-rich and can trigger gout attacks in susceptible individuals.

Refined Palm Oil is high in saturated fat, which is a cardiovascular concern. EFSA CONTAM opinion (2016) also notes potential contaminants (glycidyl esters) from refining processes.

Contains Wheat Gluten, which is a common allergen and not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020).

Contains Soya Protein Isolate and Soyabean Sauce Powder, which are soy-derived ingredients and common allergens.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.

Listed twice: an ingredient appears more than once in the same part of the list. This may indicate two separate ingredient blends in the formulation, or a duplication in how the label was recorded.

In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.

A blend of refined vegetable oils, judged as a single concern — a high saturated-fat source — rather than one flag per oil. The individual oils are listed below and in "What the label actually shows".

These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.
