Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.9 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This noodle product is a flavourful option, but its nutritional profile, particularly the high sodium and sugar content, warrants caution for regular consumption. Individuals with peanut or wheat allergies must avoid this product due to the presence of peanuts and refined wheat flour. While it offers a rich taste from ingredients like milk, cream, and butter, the overall formulation is typical of a processed snack food, with a focus on flavour over nutritional balance. The trace amounts of sesame seeds and sesame oil do not contribute significantly to its nutritional or flavour profile.

High in sodium and sugar; contains common allergens like peanuts and wheat
The score is held down by this product's nutrition profile, which dominates the assessment regardless of the rest of the formulation. This noodle product contains significant amounts of sodium and sugar, which are important considerations for overall dietary health, especially for children. It also includes common allergens such as peanuts, milk, and wheat (gluten), making it unsuitable for individuals with these specific allergies. The formulation relies on a blend of dairy, spices, and refined ingredients to deliver its flavour.
Declared allergens: Peanuts, Sesame, Milk, Soy and Gluten
People with these allergies should avoid it and check the pack’s own allergen statement.
Based on the declared ingredient list. This is a risk only to people with the allergy, not a general-population safety issue, so it does not lower the safety score.

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.
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.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI; FDA; Allergy & Asthma Network
Peanuts: regulation, sources and other products →Added Sugars
Sugars added to food, and the sugars in honey, syrups and fruit juice concentrates, are "free sugars". The WHO guideline recommends that they stay below 10% of total energy intake and suggests below 5% for additional benefit. Where the sugar sits in the ingredient list and how many grams the panel declares is what matters; this is information, because the nutrition score already prices the grams.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO, Guideline: Sugars intake for adults and children (2015)
Added Sugars: 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
Contains Peanuts, a major allergen that can cause life-threatening anaphylaxis. This is a declarable allergen under FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020.
Contains Refined wheat flour, which contains gluten and is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. This is a declarable allergen under FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations 2020.
Contains Milk, Cream, and Cheddar Cheese, which are dairy products and common allergens for individuals with milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
High sodium content from Salt, which can contribute to elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular risk with excessive intake.
Contains added Sugar, contributing to free sugar intake. WHO advises limiting free sugar to less than 10% of total energy intake, ideally less than 5%.
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 ingredient list does not contain any common preservatives.
The ingredient list does not contain Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) or any ingredients commonly associated with it.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

Sugar
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.

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.
