Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its primary ingredient being refined wheat flour (Maida), which lacks fiber and essential nutrients. It is also high in added sugar. While a single 13g serving has seemingly low values of sugar and fat, the product is energy-dense with poor nutritional quality, making it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Marketing Claims
The '0% Trans Fat' claim is factually accurate. However, the claim 'A sprinkle of sugar crystals' is potentially misleading as it downplays the fact that sugar is the second-largest ingredient by weight (23%). This could mislead consumers into perceiving the product as low in sugar, which it is not.
