3/5

claims fully supported

“No Maida”true

The ingredient list includes semolina (suji/sooji) — a coarsely milled durum wheat product — but no maida (refined soft-wheat flour) is listed or identifiable among the six declared ingredients.

“No Artificial Colours”true

The only colourant present is beetroot powder (E162/INS 162), a natural pigment derived from Beta vulgaris with no synthetic dyes in the ingredient list.

“Zero Junk Promise”unverified

'Junk' is not defined by any regulatory standard; however, the ingredient list contains no artificial additives, preservatives, emulsifiers, or synthetic sweeteners, which is consistent with the spirit of the claim. The high sodium level (720 mg/100 g) could be considered a concern under a broad reading of 'junk'.

“Made by two mothers”true

The brand tagline 'Made by two mothers' is explicitly confirmed in the rawLabelData brandTagline field.

“Food Additives - None”misleading

Beetroot powder is classified as a food colour (E162 / INS 162) under EFSA, FSSAI, and JECFA regulatory frameworks — it is technically a permitted food additive. While it is natural and poses no known safety concern, the claim that zero food additives are present is inaccurate under standard regulatory definitions.

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

High protein at 15.9 g per 100 g (~16% energy from protein)
High dietary fibre at 8.9 g per 100 g
Zero trans fat and zero added sugar confirmed on label
No artificial colours — beetroot powder is a natural colourant
No artificial preservatives, emulsifiers, or flavourings
Whole-grain base: ragi, oats, red rice contribute fibre and micronutrients

Working against

High sodium: 719.9 mg per 100 g (≈360 mg per 50 g serving, 18% RDA)
Contains wheat (semolina) and oats — not suitable for gluten-intolerant consumers
Millet-forward branding may mislead consumers expecting a gluten-free product
Semolina has a moderate-to-high glycaemic index; portion care needed for diabetics
Facility processes nuts; risk of trace allergen cross-contamination

Who should approach with care

Gluten Intolerance — Semolina (durum wheat) is strictly contraindicated for celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity; oats also carry cross-contamination risk with gluten grains and contain avenin, making this product unsafe for this group.

Pregnancy — Fenugreek in the spice blend has documented uterotonic properties at higher doses and is cautioned in pregnancy; iodised salt also raises iodine-balance concerns requiring clinician guidance during pregnancy.

Lactation — Fenugreek at supplemental doses has insufficient clinical safety data during lactation, and iodised salt alone may not meet the elevated iodine requirements of breastfeeding women; medical supervision is advisable.

Infants — Multiple ingredients are flagged for infants: iodised salt is contraindicated (immature renal function), beetroot powder (E162) is prohibited in infant foods under EU law, and legume (urad dal) and oat components require age-appropriate medical guidance.

Children — Beetroot powder's natural nitrate content warrants monitoring of total nitrate intake in children aged 1–3 years per EFSA guidance; sodium load per serving is also relatively high for young children.

Diabetes — Semolina has a moderate-to-high glycaemic index, red rice flour may raise postprandial glucose, and fenugreek and curry leaves can potentiate antidiabetic medications, creating a risk of hypoglycaemia that warrants medical supervision.

Hypertension — Sodium content is 719.9 mg per 100 g (≈360 mg per serving) from iodised salt, contributing meaningfully to daily sodium load; additionally, beetroot's dietary nitrates can lower blood pressure and may interact additively with antihypertensive medications.

Kidney Disease — Urad dal (high potassium, phosphorus, oxalates), ragi flour (oxalates, potassium), beetroot powder (oxalates), and the sodium from iodised salt all compound renal burden; intake should be medically supervised in CKD or nephrolithiasis.

Heart Disease — High sodium from iodised salt promotes fluid retention and cardiovascular load; fenugreek's antiplatelet/anticoagulant activity may interact with warfarin or antiplatelet medications commonly used in heart disease management.

Thyroid Disease — Ragi flour contains goitrogenic C-glycosylflavones that may interfere with thyroid hormone synthesis, and iodised salt can precipitate iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis or worsen autoimmune thyroid conditions; clinician guidance is recommended.

Gout — Urad dal contains moderate-to-high purines, which increase endogenous uric acid production and can precipitate or worsen gout attacks in susceptible individuals.

Ibs — Multiple high-FODMAP or fermentable-fibre ingredients are present — urad dal (galacto-oligosaccharides), oats (beta-glucan), semolina (fructans), and fenugreek (galactomannan) — which may collectively exacerbate bloating and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Ibd — High insoluble dietary fibre from urad dal may aggravate cramping and diarrhoea during active inflammatory flares of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

Nut Allergy — Fenugreek belongs to the Fabaceae (legume) family and cross-reactive IgE responses have been reported in individuals with peanut or legume hypersensitivity; the facility also processes nuts, adding a trace cross-contamination risk.

The full analysis

This product is aimed at health-conscious urban Indian families, particularly parents looking for a quick, whole-grain breakfast option for children and adults alike. The ingredient list is refreshingly short and clean — whole-grain millet-family flours, a pulse, semolina, and natural spices — with no artificial colours, preservatives, or emulsifiers. The single most important caveat a consumer should know is that despite the millet-forward branding, the product contains semolina (wheat) and oats, making it unsuitable for anyone with gluten intolerance or celiac disease; the sodium content at 720 mg per 100 g (about 360 mg per serving) is also meaningfully high and worth watching for those managing blood pressure or kidney health.
