Additive Analysis
The additives used, including preservatives (INS 200, 234), emulsifying salts (INS 452, 339, 341, 331), and natural color (INS 160a(ii)), are approved by FSSAI for use in processed cheese. While generally considered safe within permissible limits, the presence of multiple phosphates as emulsifying salts suggests a highly processed nature and may be a concern for individuals advised to limit phosphate intake.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Protein in 2 slices = Protein in 1 glass of milk' is factually accurate, as two slices (40g) provide 7.2g of protein, which is comparable to a standard 200ml glass of milk. The 'Power of Protein' slogan is a subjective marketing term but is based on the product's reasonable protein content. The marketing is not misleading.
