Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly primarily because its main ingredient is refined wheat flour (Maida, 63%) and it has a high content of added sugar. Per serving, the sugar content (3.38g) is significant for a small 13g portion. While fortified with some vitamins and minerals, this does not compensate for the low fiber and high processed carbohydrate base. It is classified as a high-sugar, processed snack, suitable only for very occasional consumption.

Additive Analysis
The product contains Raising Agents (INS 503(ii), INS 500(ii)) and Emulsifiers (INS 322(i), INS 471), which are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption within specified limits. The presence of artificial and nature-identical flavors is noted, which are common in processed foods but detract from the product's naturalness. Overall, the additives are standard for biscuits and pose a low risk.

Marketing Claims
The branding 'Milk Bikis' might lead consumers to believe milk is a primary ingredient, whereas it only constitutes 4% of the product as 'Milk Products'. While the claims '4 essential vitamins' and '0% Trans Fat' are factually supported by the nutrition panel, the overall marketing positions a high-sugar, maida-based biscuit as a wholesome snack for children, which is ethically questionable. The claims are not technically false but could be perceived as misleading about the overall healthiness of the product.
