Nutritional Summary
The product receives a very poor rating primarily due to its extremely high content of added sugar. A single 250ml serving contains 25.58g of added sugar, which is over 50% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. It also has a high sodium content (382.78mg per serving). The presence of a synthetic food color (INS 122) and a Class II preservative (INS 211) further lowers its health score.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Kala Khatta Mint Cooler
1. In a tall glass, muddle a handful of fresh mint leaves and two lime wedges. 2. Fill the glass with crushed ice. 3. Pour 150ml of Bombay Banta Kala Khatta Soda. 4. Top with 100ml of plain soda water or sparkling water and stir gently. 5. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig.
Health Benefits
Diluting the drink reduces the sugar concentration per glass while fresh mint and lime add antioxidants.
Spiced Kala Khatta Popsicle
1. Pour the Bombay Banta soda into popsicle molds, filling them three-quarters full. 2. Add a pinch of chaat masala and a few small pieces of jamun (black plum) or berries. 3. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours until solid. 4. To serve, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to release.
Health Benefits
Creates a portion-controlled frozen treat and adds fiber and vitamins from the whole fruit.
Additive Analysis
The product contains INS 211 (Sodium Benzoate), a Class II preservative, and INS 122 (Carmoisine), a synthetic food color. Both are permitted by FSSAI within specified limits. However, some studies suggest potential health concerns with long-term consumption of these additives, particularly for sensitive individuals or children. Their presence lowers the overall health quality of the product.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are subjective descriptions of the flavor profile ('spicy, zesty, tangy') and are generally acceptable as puffery. The product does not make any misleading health claims, which is appropriate given its high sugar and sodium content. The marketing is compliant but focuses on taste rather than nutritional aspects.
