Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its extremely high fat content, which constitutes 65% of the product. A single 10g serving contains 6.5g of fat. While it has no added sugar, the high fat and sodium content, combined with the presence of preservatives and stabilizers, make it a high-energy, low-nutrient-density food suitable only for very occasional consumption in small quantities.

Additive Analysis
The product contains FSSAI-approved additives including stabilizers (E471, E472e), an emulsifier (E322), an acidity regulator (E330), and a Class II preservative (E202 - Potassium Sorbate). These are generally recognized as safe for consumption within prescribed limits. The use of a natural color (E160a) is a positive aspect.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Lite' may be perceived as misleading by consumers. While it might be lighter in fat compared to traditional butter (which is ~80% fat), the product itself is still very high in fat (65%). This could lead consumers to believe it is a low-fat product, which is inaccurate. The '0% Vegetable Oil' claim is factually correct based on the ingredients.
