Nutritional Summary
The product receives a poor rating due to its high content of sodium (180 mg) and saturated fat (2.4 g) per 15g serving, contributing significantly to the daily recommended limits. The presence of multiple emulsifying salts and Class II preservatives further reduces its health score. While it offers a decent amount of protein, its overall profile is characteristic of a highly processed food that should be consumed sparingly.

Additive Analysis
The product contains emulsifying salts (INS 452, 339, 331) and Class II preservatives (INS 200, 234). These additives are permitted by FSSAI within specified limits.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Pure Milk Cheese' and 'Processed Cheese Spread' are accurate as cheese from milk is the primary ingredient, and it is a processed product. The '50 Slices' claim is also factually correct based on the packaging information. The marketing is straightforward and does not make any unsubstantiated health claims.
