8/9

claims fully supported

“Gluten Free”true

All five ingredients — goji berry, raisin, almond, pumpkin kernel, watermelon kernel — are inherently gluten-free whole foods; no wheat, barley, rye, or oats are present.

“Snack on the Go”true

Product is a ready-to-eat, no-preparation-required trail mix in a portable pack; the product description and category 'Trail Mix / Healthy Snacks on the Go' directly support this.

“Power packed healthy snack”true

The product delivers protein (~16 g/100 g), fibre (~7.2 g/100 g), iron (~6.2 mg/100 g) and vitamin A (~210 mcg/100 g) from whole-food sources with no additives — this is substantively accurate, though the phrase is marketing language rather than a regulated nutrient claim.

“Source of Protein”true

Raw label data shows ~16.45 g protein per 100 g, well above FSSAI's threshold of 6 g per 100 g (or 12% of energy) for a 'source of protein' claim.

“Source of Omega 3 ALA”unverified

Neither the submitted nutrition panel nor the raw label data includes any omega-3 or ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) figures. While pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds contain some ALA and almonds contain trace amounts, the quantity in this specific product is not quantified in any of the four available data sources.

“Source of Iron”true

Raw label data shows 6.2 mg iron per 100 g. Against the Indian RDA of ~17 mg/day for women, this represents ~36% RDA per 100 g — comfortably meeting the FSSAI 'source of' threshold (≥15% RDA per 100 g).

“Source of Dietary Fibre”true

Raw label data shows 7.2 g dietary fibre per 100 g, exceeding FSSAI's minimum of 3 g per 100 g for a 'source of dietary fibre' claim.

“Naturally Cholesterol Free”true

All ingredients are plant-origin; cholesterol is reported as 0 mg in both the main nutrition section and raw label data. The qualifier 'naturally' is accurate — no cholesterol removal process was needed.

“Loaded with goodness of dietary fiber, iron and vitamin A”true

Raw label confirms dietary fibre 7.2 g/100 g, iron 6.2 mg/100 g, and vitamin A 210 mcg/100 g (25% of the Indian RDA of 840 mcg/day per 100 g). All three nutrients are meaningfully present.

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

Five whole-food ingredients with zero additives or preservatives
Good source of plant protein (~16 g per 100 g per label)
Good source of dietary fibre (~7.2 g per 100 g per label)
Naturally cholesterol-free (all plant-origin ingredients)
Meaningful iron content (~6.2 mg per 100 g) and vitamin A (~210 mcg per 100 g) from goji berries
No trans fat, no artificial colours, no artificial sweeteners

Working against

High natural sugar content (~34 g per 100 g), mostly from raisins and goji berries
Calorie-dense (~421 kcal per 100 g) — easy to over-consume from a 250 g pack
Sulfite risk: commercially processed goji berries and golden raisins may carry undeclared sulfites
Whole seeds and nuts present a choking hazard for infants and young children
No percentage breakdown of individual ingredients listed on pack

Who should approach with care

Sulfite Sensitivity — Commercially processed goji berries may contain undeclared sulfite preservatives (up to 13.6 mg/serving per published analyses), and golden/bleached raisins are routinely treated with SO₂; both pose a risk of severe reactions in sulfite-sensitive individuals and asthmatics.

Nut Allergy — Almonds are a globally recognized priority tree nut allergen (FAO/WHO 2022; FALCPA); the pack also declares 'Contains Tree Nuts,' and ingestion in sensitized individuals can cause anaphylaxis.

Infants — Whole raisins, almonds, pumpkin kernels, and watermelon seeds all present serious choking hazards for infants and toddlers under 18 months; additionally, concentrated natural sugars from raisins and goji berries can contribute to dental caries in young children.

Diabetes — Raisins (~34 g total sugar per 100 g product) and goji berries (documented hypoglycaemic properties) can together significantly affect postprandial blood glucose; individuals on antidiabetic medications should monitor portions carefully.

Kidney Disease — Almonds (high oxalates, phosphorus), pumpkin seeds (high magnesium, phosphorus, potassium), and watermelon seeds (high protein, phosphorus) may collectively worsen mineral imbalances in individuals with impaired renal clearance.

Ibs — Raisins are high in fructose and fermentable FODMAPs, which can exacerbate bloating, gas, and cramping in individuals following low-FODMAP protocols for IBS.

Gout — High natural fructose from raisins and purine-containing watermelon seeds may together promote uric acid production and risk triggering gout flares in predisposed individuals.

Hypertension — Pumpkin seed extracts have demonstrated hypotensive effects and documented interactions with antihypertensive drugs (e.g., felodipine in animal models); individuals on blood-pressure medication should seek medical advice before regular consumption.

Pregnancy — Goji berries contain betaine and zeaxanthin; conventional dietary amounts in a trail mix are considered acceptable during pregnancy, but concentrated or supplemental doses lack adequate human safety data and should be avoided.

Children — EFSA's cyanogenic glycosides assessment flags caution with almond-containing products in young children; whole nuts and seeds also remain choking hazards up to age 4.

Other — Goji berries contain betaine and may potentiate the anticoagulant effect of warfarin (Coumadin), increasing bleeding risk; individuals on anticoagulant therapy should consult a physician before regular consumption.

The full analysis

This product is a straightforward whole-food trail mix bought by health-conscious snackers and on-the-go consumers looking for a convenient source of natural energy, plant protein, fiber, and micronutrients like iron and vitamin A from goji berries. There are no additives, no artificial ingredients, and no hidden processed components — the entire ingredient list is five recognizable whole foods. The one practical caveat worth noting is a data discrepancy in the submitted nutrition panel: the 'per 100g' figures (126 kcal, 4.9 g protein) actually match a 30 g serving calculation, while the raw label data independently reports the expected per-100g values (421 kcal, 16.45 g protein, 34 g sugar, 7.2 g fiber) — consumers should rely on the label's per-100g figures for accurate nutritional planning, especially regarding the relatively high natural sugar load (≈34 g/100 g) from raisins and goji berries.
