Additive Analysis
The product contains emulsifying salts (INS 452, 339, 331, 471) and preservatives (INS 200, 234). These are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by FSSAI within permissible limits. However, high consumption of foods with polyphosphates can be a concern for individuals with kidney issues. Overall, the additives are standard for processed cheese and considered safe for the general population when consumed in moderation.

Marketing Claims
The claims are largely compliant and not misleading. 'Made from 100% Pure Milk' refers to the primary source of the cheese and milk solids, which is factually accurate. Claims like 'Yummy' and 'Simply delicious' are subjective puffery and acceptable. The product does not make any unsubstantiated health claims.
