Nutritional Summary
The product scores highly due to its simple, single-ingredient composition (durum wheat semolina) with no added sugars, preservatives, or unhealthy fats. Per serving, it is extremely low in sodium (4.1mg) and sugar (1.8g) while providing a good amount of protein (9.1g). It serves as a very healthy base for meals. A minor deduction is made for a questionable 'High Fibre' marketing claim.

Marketing Claims
Most claims such as '100% Durum Wheat Pasta', '0% Trans Fat', 'Cholesterol Free', and 'High in Protein' are accurate and substantiated by the ingredient list and nutritional information. However, the 'High in Fibre' claim is questionable. FSSAI guidelines state that a 'High Fibre' claim requires a minimum of 6g of fiber per 100g. This product only contains 2.9g per 100g, which does not meet the standard, making the claim potentially misleading.
