Nutritional Summary
The product scores reasonably well due to its low sugar, saturated fat, and zero trans-fat content per serving. It is also fortified with essential B-vitamins. However, it loses points because it is not 100% whole wheat, containing a significant amount of refined wheat flour (Maida), and the dietary fiber content is relatively low for a product marketed as brown bread.

Marketing Claims
The primary claim 'Brown Bread' can be misleading as the product contains a substantial amount of refined wheat flour (Maida) in addition to whole wheat flour (Atta). Consumers often associate 'brown bread' with 100% whole wheat and its associated health benefits, which is not the case here. The claims of 'Enriched with 5 B-Vitamins' and 'No Artificial...' appear to be accurate based on the ingredient list.
