Nutritional Summary

The product scores poorly due to its high sodium (320mg, 16% of GDA) and high saturated fat (4g, 18% of GDA) content per serving. These values are significant for a snack. While it benefits from being sugar-free and containing dietary fiber, the excessive sodium and saturated fat from palm oil, along with the use of artificial flavors, make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas

Spicy Masala Popcorn

Prepare the popcorn in the microwave according to package directions. In a large bowl, immediately toss the hot popcorn with 1 teaspoon of chaat masala, a pinch of red chili powder, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Garnish with finely chopped coriander and serve for a zesty twist.

Health Benefits

Adds a burst of Indian flavors using spices instead of extra salt or fat.

Nut and Berry Popcorn Trail Mix

After popping, allow the popcorn to cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the popcorn with a mix of roasted unsalted almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. Add a handful of dried cranberries for sweetness and mix well for a convenient snack.

Health Benefits

Enhances the snack with healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants from nuts and dried fruit.

Additive Analysis

The additives listed, soy lecithin (E322) and beta carotene (E160a), are permitted by FSSAI and generally considered safe. The use of unspecified artificial butter flavor is a minor concern but is permitted under regulations. Overall risk is low.

Marketing Claims

The claim 'Butter Flavor' is achieved through artificial and natural flavors, not actual butter, which could be misleading for consumers expecting a product made with real butter. The rest of the packaging is straightforward. The claims are not overtly deceptive but lack full transparency.
