Nutritional Summary
The product is a good source of protein and has no added sugar. However, its health score is lowered due to very high levels of sodium (15% of RDA per serving) and saturated fat (18% of RDA per serving). The inclusion of preservatives and emulsifying salts classifies it as a highly processed food, warranting an 'AVERAGE' rating.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, including emulsifying salts (INS 452, 339, 331) and Class II preservatives (INS 200 - Sorbic Acid, INS 234 - Nisin), are approved by FSSAI for use in processed cheese. They are generally considered safe within permissible limits, though excessive consumption of phosphate-based additives can be a concern for certain health conditions.
