Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly primarily due to its extremely high content of sodium and saturated fat per serving. A small 25g serving contains 350mg of sodium (17.5% of daily limit) and 4g of saturated fat (20% of daily limit). The presence of trans fat and Class II preservatives further reduces its health score. While it is a source of protein and calcium, the significant negative nutritional aspects make it an indulgence item rather than a healthy choice.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Whole Wheat Veggie Cheese Toast
1. Toast a slice of whole-wheat bread. 2. Lightly spread a thin layer of Amul cheese. 3. Top generously with chopped vegetables like tomatoes, onions, and capsicum. 4. Grill for 2-3 minutes until veggies are warm and serve immediately.
Health Benefits
This recipe balances the cheese with high-fiber bread and vitamin-rich vegetables for a more nutritious snack.
Spinach & Corn Stuffed Paratha
1. Prepare a dough using whole wheat flour. 2. Sauté chopped spinach and corn with minimal spices. 3. Mix a small amount (1 tablespoon) of grated Amul cheese into the cooled vegetable mixture. 4. Stuff this mixture into the dough, roll out, and cook on a tawa with a few drops of oil.
Health Benefits
Incorporates iron and fiber from spinach and whole wheat, using cheese sparingly for flavor rather than as the main ingredient.
Additive Analysis
The product contains Emulsifying Salts (E331 - Sodium Citrates, E452 - Polyphosphates) and Permitted Class II Preservatives (E200, E234). While these are approved by FSSAI for use within safe limits, regular consumption of foods with multiple additives is generally advised against for optimal health.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Power of Protein' is technically true as the product contains 20g of protein per 100g. However, this claim creates a 'health halo' that can mislead consumers by distracting from the product's very high levels of sodium, saturated fat, and the presence of trans fat. It overemphasizes a single positive nutrient while ignoring significant unhealthy ones.
