8/11

claims fully supported

“Zero Preservatives”true

Single-ingredient product with no listed additives or preservatives of any kind.

“Unpolished Seeds”true

Label and brand description consistently state seeds are naturally unpolished; no polishing agents appear in ingredients.

“Improves Bone Health”unverified

No clinical data, cited studies, or nutrition panel (calcium values) are provided in any of the four data sources to substantiate a causal health outcome claim.

“Rich in Antioxidants”true

The ingredient dossier confirms sesame seeds contain antioxidant lignans (sesamin and sesamolin); the claim is consistent with established food science.

“No additives, no artificial colours, no adulteration. Just clean, honest ingredients.”true

Ingredient list is a single whole food — black sesame seeds — with no additives, colours, or artificial substances declared or visible.

“High in calcium and antioxidants”unverified

Sesame seeds are well-documented to be calcium-rich (approx. 975 mg/100g per standard food composition tables) and contain antioxidant lignans; however, no nutrition panel is printed on this label, so the 'high' threshold cannot be confirmed from label data. The claim is plausible but unconfirmed from in-pack data.

“Naturally unpolished, retaining their earthy flavor and rich nutrient profile”true

Consistent with the single-ingredient formulation and brand sourcing narrative; no polishing agents are present.

“Proof of Purity”true

Extra information confirms a QR code is present on the pack enabling product traceability, and SuperGRT® AI-enabled patented technology is cited for quality assurance.

“Taste. Health. Purity.”unverified

Subjective marketing tagline; not verifiable against objective data.

“Single Authentic Sourcing”true

Extra information confirms direct sourcing from trusted farmers in Barmer, Rajasthan, with a QR-code traceability system.

“Tested by SuperGRT®”true

Certifications section confirms SuperGRT® AI-enabled, patented technology is used for quality, consistency, and transparency.

03 — The fuller picture

Read the whole thing if a one-line verdict isn’t enough.

What’s in favour, and what’s working against it

In favour

Single-ingredient whole food — zero additives or preservatives
No artificial colours, flavours, or sweeteners
Traceable farm origin via QR code (Proof of Purity)
Rich in antioxidant lignans (sesamin, sesamolin) per ingredient dossier
Dual FSSAI licensed (marketer and manufacturer)
Direct farmer sourcing from authenticated Barmer region

Working against

No nutrition panel data available — quantitative claims unverifiable
Sesame is a globally recognised major food allergen
Batch number, MRP, and expiry date absent from captured label image
No fiber, protein, or calcium values declared despite nutrient-based marketing

Who should approach with care

Other — Individuals with a confirmed sesame allergy must strictly avoid this product, as even trace amounts of sesame can trigger severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, per FDA and EFSA allergen guidance.

Children — Sesame allergy affects approximately 0.2% of children in the US, with two-thirds experiencing emergency department visits; parents should check for sesame sensitisation before serving.

Infants — Introduction of sesame in infants with a family history of food allergies or existing eczema should be discussed with a healthcare provider given sesame's major-allergen classification under the US FASTER Act and equivalent international frameworks.

Kidney Disease — Sesame seeds are high in phosphorus and oxalates, which may be problematic for individuals with chronic kidney disease who need to restrict these minerals.

Gout — Sesame seeds contain moderate levels of purines; individuals with gout or hyperuricemia should consume them in moderation as part of an overall low-purine diet.

The full analysis

This product will appeal to home cooks and health-conscious shoppers looking for a clean, traceable pantry staple. The entire ingredient list is one item — black sesame seeds — making it about as minimal as packaged food gets. The brand emphasises regional provenance (Barmer's arid belt) and QR-code traceability, which are genuine differentiators. The single meaningful caution is allergen-related: sesame is now a recognised major allergen worldwide (including under the US FASTER Act), so anyone with sesame sensitivity must avoid it. The most useful takeaway for a curious consumer: this is a genuinely clean, single-ingredient product, but the complete absence of a printed nutrition panel on the label image means quantitative claims like 'High in Calcium' cannot be independently verified from label data alone.
