Reviewed 9 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This product contains hydrogenated edible vegetable fat, a modified (interesterified or hydrogenated) vegetable fat that does not yield a measurable amount in this product — the nutrition panel declares 0 g, though this fat class remains under research, which is a significant health concern. It also includes multiple sources of added sugar and nature-identical flavors, contributing to a highly processed profile. While it offers protein, the presence of a major allergen like peanuts, combined with the trans fat and high sugar content, makes it a concern most relevant to children.

Peanuts
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and severe food allergies, capable of causing anaphylaxis — a potentially fatal allergic reaction. Even trace amounts (cross-contamination) can trigger reactions. Peanut allergy is usually lifelong and requires strict avoidance. Always carry an epinephrine auto-injector if allergic.

Peanuts: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Edible Vegetable Fat (Hydrogenated), a source of industrial trans fats, which are linked to increased risk of heart disease. FSSAI regulations aim to limit trans fat content due to health concerns.
Contains Peanut Protein and Peanut Butter, which are major allergens and can cause life-threatening anaphylaxis in individuals with peanut allergy (FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020).

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 'NEW LAUNCH' is a marketing statement that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The claim '86g PROTEIN*' is not substantiated by the provided nutrition information, which states 20g of protein per 100g. The asterisk likely refers to a total quantity in the pack, which is not provided.
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 product name includes 'Protein Minis', and the nutrition information states 20g of protein per 100g, which is a significant amount.
The ingredients list 'Coffee (4.5%)', confirming the presence of coffee.
Protein provides 20.3% of this product’s energy, meeting the 20% a “high protein” claim requires. (Protein claims are set on % of energy, not % by weight.)
The nutrition information states 8g of fibre per 100g, which is considered high fibre.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
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.
The label declares each of these as a blend and then lists what is in it. The components appear in the groups above on their own merits, so the blend itself is shown here rather than counted a second time.

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.
