Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its very high added sugar content, with a single 300ml serving containing 19.2g of sugar, which is 38.4% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. The use of an artificial sweetener (Sucralose) and a synthetic food color (INS 124) further detracts from its health profile. Despite being fat-free and containing some Vitamin C, the excessive sugar makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, including preservative INS 211, acidity regulators, and antioxidant INS 300, are generally permitted by FSSAI. However, the use of synthetic color INS 124 (Ponceau 4R) can be a concern for individuals with sensitivities and is restricted in some countries. The combination of high sugar with an artificial sweetener (Sucralose - INS 955) also warrants caution. Overall risk is low for the general population but moderate for sensitive individuals.

Marketing Claims
The claims '50% less sugar' and '50% less calories' are likely made in comparison to a standard full-sugar beverage and may be technically true. However, they create a 'health halo' effect, potentially misleading consumers into thinking this is a healthy product, when it still contains a very high amount of sugar (19.2g per serving). The fact that this reduction is achieved with an artificial sweetener (Sucralose) is not highlighted on the front of the package, which is ethically questionable.
