Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly primarily due to its extremely high content of added sugar. A single 200ml serving contains 24g of sugar, which constitutes nearly 50% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance for an adult. The presence of trans fat and artificial flavors further reduces its health score. While it provides some protein and calcium, these benefits are significantly outweighed by the negative impact of the excessive sugar.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Lassi Berry Smoothie
Blend one pack of Amul Lassi with a handful of mixed berries (like strawberries or blueberries) and a tablespoon of chia seeds. Add a few ice cubes for a thicker, colder smoothie. Do not add any extra sugar.
Health Benefits
Enhances the drink with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants from fruits and omega-3s from chia seeds, helping to balance the sugar content.
Frozen Lassi Fruit Pops
Pour the lassi into popsicle molds, adding small pieces of chopped fruit like mango or pomegranate seeds. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours until solid. Serve as a frozen dessert.
Health Benefits
Creates a portion-controlled frozen treat, making it a healthier alternative to other high-sugar desserts.
Additive Analysis
The product contains a permitted stabilizer (E440 - Pectin) and artificial rose flavoring. E440 is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies including FSSAI. The use of artificial flavors, while permitted, may be a concern for consumers seeking all-natural products. Overall, the additives are within FSSAI guidelines and pose a low risk.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Source of Calcium & Protein' is factually correct as per the nutritional label. However, it selectively highlights the positive attributes while failing to disclose the very high sugar content. This can be misleading for consumers looking for a healthy beverage, as it frames a high-sugar product as a nutritious choice, which is ethically questionable.
