How we got 5.5 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This beverage mix is primarily composed of sugar and salt, with lemon powder and spices providing flavor. While it offers a refreshing taste, its high sugar and sodium content are significant nutritional considerations. The undisclosed 'Acidity Regulator' also presents a transparency concern, as the specific substance is not identified. It is generally suitable for healthy adults in moderation, but individuals monitoring sugar or sodium intake, or those with specific dietary restrictions, should exercise caution.

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 →Decode Label Analysis
The specific 'Acidity Regulator' is not disclosed, which limits the ability to fully assess potential sensitivities or dietary restrictions related to this additive.
This product contains added sugars. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises keeping free sugar intake under 10% of total energy, ideally under 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 claim refers to items inside the packaging, which cannot be verified from the provided label images.
The claim 'Premium Quality Product' is a subjective marketing statement that cannot be objectively verified from the provided label information.
The ingredient list does not explicitly mention milk or milk derivatives, so the presence of milk cannot be confirmed or denied from the provided information.
The product packaging clearly states '10 Single Serve Sachets'.
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.
