Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores 'AVERAGE' due to its high content of refined flour (Maida) and sugar (7.2g per serving). While it is fortified with 10 vitamins and contains zero trans fat, these benefits are offset by the low fiber content and use of refined ingredients and artificial flavors. It is a highly processed snack that should be consumed in moderation.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, including raising agents (503(ii), 500(ii)), emulsifiers (471, 322), and dough conditioner (223), are permitted under FSSAI regulations. However, Sodium Metabisulphite (223) is a sulphite which can be an allergen for sensitive individuals. The presence of artificial flavors detracts from the product's naturalness.

Marketing Claims
The claim of being fortified with 'Essential 10 Vitamins' is factually supported by the nutritional information. However, the brand name 'Vita Marie Gold' creates a 'health halo,' implying the product is inherently healthy. This is questionable, as the primary ingredients are refined flour and sugar, making it an energy-dense, low-fiber snack. The marketing focuses on fortification to distract from the less healthy base ingredients.
