Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its high sodium (127.8 mg) and saturated fat (1.56 g) content for a very small serving size of 12g. The primary ingredient is refined wheat flour (maida), which lacks fiber and essential nutrients. The presence of multiple additives and palm oil further reduces its health rating. It is an energy-dense, nutrient-poor snack.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, including raising agents [503(ii), 341(ii), 500(ii), 450(i)] and dough conditioner [223], are permitted by FSSAI. However, Sodium Metabisulphite (223) is a sulphite and can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The overall additive load is moderate for this product category.

Marketing Claims
The marketing heavily emphasizes 'Maska' (butter), creating the impression that butter is a primary ingredient. However, the product contains only 1.2% butter, with the main fat source being refined palm oil. This can be misleading for consumers seeking a genuine butter biscuit. The '0% Trans Fat' claim is compliant with labeling regulations but doesn't mean the product is healthy. The 'Desi Butter & Videshi Herbs' claim exaggerates the presence of these ingredients.
