Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its very high added sugar content, with a single 180ml serving containing 14g of added sugar, which is 28% of the FSSAI recommended daily allowance. The presence of artificial colors and flavors further reduces its health score. While it provides some protein, the high sugar content makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Additive Analysis
The product contains INS 110 (Sunset Yellow FCF), a synthetic color permitted by FSSAI but linked to potential hyperactivity in sensitive individuals. The use of artificial flavors instead of natural saffron (kesar) reduces the product's naturalness. While legally compliant, the additives are not ideal from a health perspective.
Preservatives
No preservatives added

Artificial Flavors
Marketing Claims
The prominent 'Kesar' branding is questionable as the product does not contain real saffron, instead relying on artificial flavors and synthetic colors (INS 110) to mimic the taste and appearance. This could mislead consumers into believing the product contains natural saffron. While the ingredients list discloses this, the primary marketing is based on an ingredient that is artificially substituted.
