7/8

claims fully supported

“No Added Sugar”true

Nutrition data confirms addedSugar = 0.0 g; the 10 g total sugar per 100 g is attributed to naturally occurring sugars from banana fruit powder and date powder as stated in the product caveats.

“No Preservatives”true

No preservative-category ingredient appears in the ingredient list; all six components are whole-food or nutrient ingredients.

“No Artificial Colours”true

No colour additives or E-number colorants appear anywhere in the ingredient list.

“Ready to Eat”unverified

The product is a dry cereal powder with a 20 g serving size dispensed by scoop; no preparation instructions are recorded in the available data, but infant cereals of this type are typically reconstituted with water or milk before consumption. Preparation requirement cannot be definitively confirmed or denied from available data.

“Made by Two Mothers”true

The brand tagline field in the raw label data explicitly states 'made by two mothers', consistent with Slurrp Farm's known founding story.

“No Hydrogenated Fats”true

Trans fat is reported as 0.0 g per 100 g and no hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil appears in the ingredient list.

“No Artificial Flavours”true

No artificial flavouring agents or flavour-category additives appear in the ingredient list; banana and date powders are whole-food flavour contributors.

“Contains 23% Millets”true

The extra information field explicitly records milletContent as 23%; the multigrain flour blend is 47% of the product and includes sprouted ragi and jowar as millet constituents alongside rice.

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

Fortified with 10+ vitamins including A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E, folic acid
High calcium: 600 mg per 100 g, 120 mg per serving
Contains iron (9 mg/100 g) to support infant development
No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives
No added sugar; all 10 g sugar naturally from fruit powders
Zero trans fat; sprouting reduces antinutrients in ragi

Working against

Rice as a key ingredient raises inorganic arsenic concern for infants
Contains milk solids — unsuitable for cow's milk protein allergy
Date powder contributes concentrated natural fructose and glucose
Made in a facility processing wheat and nuts — cross-contamination risk
No FSSAI licence number disclosed on label for verification

Who should approach with care

Infants — Rice in the formula is a recognised inorganic arsenic source for infants (FDA 100 ppb action level for infant rice cereals); milk solids carry cow's milk protein allergy risk; and the mineral fortification blend must comply with FSSAI infant food standards — a paediatrician should approve introduction and monitor tolerance.

Children — Children consume more food relative to body weight than adults and are especially susceptible to adverse neurodevelopmental effects of inorganic arsenic from the rice component; dietary grain variety is recommended.

Kidney Disease — The combination of sprouted ragi, banana powder, date powder, milk solids, and supplemental minerals delivers significant potassium, phosphorus, and calcium — minerals that can accumulate dangerously when renal clearance is impaired.

Lactose Intolerance — Milk solids at 33% of the formula are a substantial source of lactose and may cause bloating, diarrhoea, and abdominal cramps in lactose-intolerant individuals.

Other — Individuals with confirmed IgE-mediated or non-IgE-mediated cow's milk protein allergy must avoid this product entirely due to its 33% milk solids content.

Diabetes — Date powder (>70% natural sugars) and banana powder together contribute the bulk of the 10 g/100 g sugar, and rice has a high glycaemic index; postprandial blood glucose impact warrants portion caution for people with diabetes.

Thyroid Disease — Sprouted ragi and the added iodine-containing mineral blend can both interfere with thyroid hormone synthesis or iodine balance at habitual high intake; individuals on thyroid medication should consult their physician.

Ibs — The combined insoluble fibre from ragi, resistant starch from sorghum, fermentable fibre and fructans from banana powder, and high-FODMAP fructose from date powder may exacerbate bloating, cramping, and altered bowel habits in IBS.

Gluten Intolerance — The product is manufactured in a facility that processes wheat, posing a cross-contamination risk for individuals with coeliac disease or non-coeliac gluten sensitivity.

Gout — Date powder's high fructose content can elevate serum uric acid levels and may precipitate gout flares in predisposed individuals.

Phenylketonuria — Milk solids supply casein and whey — both phenylalanine-rich proteins — and individuals with PKU must account for this contribution within their strictly controlled low-phenylalanine diet.

Pregnancy — The fortified mineral blend (including iron and iodine) has pregnancy-specific Tolerable Upper Intake Levels per EFSA, and the rice component carries inorganic arsenic risk; medical oversight of total intake is recommended.

Liver Disease — Liver disease impairs metabolism of minerals such as copper and iron present in the fortification blend, risking toxic accumulation; use should be medically supervised.

G6pd Deficiency — High-dose iron from the mineral fortification blend has been associated with increased oxidative stress in G6PD-deficient individuals; intake should be medically monitored.

Ibd — Inflammatory bowel disease alters absorption of iron, zinc, and magnesium present in the fortification blend, creating risk of both deficiency and sensitivity to supplemental forms.

Heart Disease — The supplemental potassium and calcium in the mineral blend can affect cardiac electrolyte balance; individuals with heart conditions should have mineral intake reviewed by a cardiologist.

The full analysis

This product is primarily bought by parents of infants and toddlers seeking a natural, additive-free first cereal. Its ingredient list is clean by Indian baby-food standards — no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, or added sugar — and the whole-food base (sprouted millets, milk solids, banana, date) is accompanied by a meaningful vitamin and mineral fortification panel covering calcium, iron, zinc, and most B-vitamins. The most important caveat for parents is that rice is the third ingredient, and rice-based infant cereals are a recognised route of inorganic arsenic exposure for young children; the FDA has set an action level specifically for this category, and regulators worldwide recommend offering grain variety rather than rice-heavy diets to infants. This product also contains milk, making it unsuitable for infants with cow's milk protein allergy.
