Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating due to its very high content of saturated fat and sodium per serving. A small 20g serving provides 3.8g of saturated fat (about 17% of the FSSAI recommended daily allowance) and 166mg of sodium. While it contains no added sugar, the high levels of unhealthy fats and sodium, combined with its highly processed nature and multiple additives, make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Health Benefits
Balances the high-fat spread with fiber-rich whole grains and fresh vegetables for a more nutritious meal.
Creamy Yogurt & Veggie Dip
1. In a bowl, mix two tablespoons of cheese spread with two tablespoons of Greek yogurt. 2. Add finely chopped cucumber, carrots, and bell peppers. 3. Season with a pinch of oregano and chili flakes. 4. Serve as a dip with whole-grain crackers or vegetable sticks (carrots, cucumber).
Health Benefits

Additive Analysis
The product contains several additives including emulsifying salts (INS 339, 331, 471), stabilizers (INS 407, 412, 415, 466), and preservatives (INS 200, 234). All these additives are permitted by FSSAI for use in processed cheese products within specified limits. They are generally considered safe for consumption but indicate a highly processed food item.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Made from 100% Pure Milk' is potentially misleading. While milk solids are the primary ingredient, the product is highly processed with numerous additives, which is not conveyed. The marketing creates a wholesome image that downplays the very high saturated fat and sodium content, which are significant health concerns. The product is more of a 'cheese-based product' than a simple dairy item.
