Marketing Claims
Most claims like '100% Durum Wheat', 'High in Protein', '0% Trans Fat', and 'Cholesterol Free' are accurate and supported by the nutritional information. However, the 'High in Fibre' claim is misleading. The product contains 2.9g of fiber per 100g, which does not meet the FSSAI guideline for a 'High Fibre' claim (6g per 100g). It barely qualifies as a 'Source of Fibre' (3g per 100g).
