Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its very high sugar content, with a single 125ml serving containing 13.75g of sugar, which is over 27% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance for added sugar. It also contains artificial color (INS 150D) and a preservative (INS 211). While it is fat-free, the excessive sugar makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Additive Analysis
The product contains additives permitted by FSSAI. INS 330 (Citric Acid) is generally safe. INS 211 (Sodium Benzoate) is a common preservative but may be a concern for sensitive individuals. INS 150D (Caramel Color) is permitted, but its regular consumption is debated by some health experts. Overall, the additives are within legal limits but reduce the product's natural appeal.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are largely compliant and truthful. The product is indeed a masala soda containing spices and lemon juice as listed. It avoids making misleading health claims, focusing instead on the traditional 'Banta' flavor profile. The quantification of lemon juice content adds to its transparency.
