Additive Analysis
The additives used (Preservatives 282 & 200, Colour 150a, Emulsifier 472e, Acidity Regulator 260, Flour Treatment Agent 510) are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by FSSAI within prescribed limits. However, the use of Caramel Colour (150a) may mislead consumers into thinking the bread has a higher whole wheat content than it actually does.

Marketing Claims
The term 'Brown Bread' is questionable as the product contains a significant amount of refined wheat flour (Maida) and its color is enhanced by an added food color (150a). This can mislead consumers seeking the health benefits of 100% whole wheat bread. The 'Vitamin Enriched' claim is accurate as per the nutritional information.
