Why this verdict
Red flags present. Best treated as an avoid-for-regular-use product unless the underlying evidence changes.
The issue is frequency: the red flags make this a poor default, even if rare use carries lower practical concern.
This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.
Flagged RED because nutrition lists Sugars 20g per 100g, which is ≥10g/100g. The ingredient list also includes Sugar as the #2 ingredient, reinforcing high added-sugar load.
Flagged RED because this is a NOVA Group 4-style packaged cookie with industrial ingredients/additives (e. g.
, emulsifiers E471/E322, antioxidant E319, dough conditioner E472e). It also fails other axes (notably Sugar load is red and Sodium is yellow).
Flagged RED because saturated fat is listed as 10g per 100g, exceeding the >5g/100g threshold for solids. The fat source is palm oil, which typically contributes higher saturated fat.
Flagged YELLOW because sodium is listed as 350mg per 100g, which falls in the 300–625mg/100g range for solids. Regular intake can add up alongside other salty foods.
Flagged YELLOW because the 'Fruit & Nut' framing creates a health halo, but the ingredient list shows Sugar ahead of mixed fruits (13%) and nuts (cashew 5%, almonds 3%). Claims are not directly contradicted, but the composition is still dominated by refined flour, sugar, and palm oil.
Flagged INSUFFICIENT because the research provided does not include a primary-source regulatory record (e. g.
, FSSAI recall/notice database entry or ASCI case record) for this specific product.
