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.

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.

?
"NEW LAUNCH" Can't verify

The claim 'NEW LAUNCH' is a marketing statement that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.

?
"86g PROTEIN*" Can't verify

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.

protein g 20 (per 100g)

"24 PIECES" Packaging / category descriptor

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.

"PROTEIN MINIS" Checks out

The product name includes 'Protein Minis', and the nutrition information states 20g of protein per 100g, which is a significant amount.

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.
