Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its extremely high sodium and saturated fat content per serving. A single 20g serving contains approximately 290mg of sodium and 3.5g of saturated fat, contributing to about 15% and 16% of the recommended daily intake, respectively. While it is a source of protein and fortified with vitamins, its highly processed nature and negative nutritional aspects outweigh the benefits for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Cheesy Vegetable Paratha
Mix grated carrots and chopped spinach into whole wheat atta to make a dough. Roll out a small roti, place 10-15g of grated cheese in the center, fold, and roll into a paratha. Cook on a tawa with minimal oil until golden brown on both sides.
Health Benefits
This recipe boosts the fiber and vitamin content of a cheesy paratha while adding protein and calcium for a balanced meal.
Mushroom and Pepper Cheese Toast
Toast a slice of whole-wheat or multigrain bread. Sauté mushrooms and bell peppers with a pinch of herbs. Place the sautéed vegetables on the toast and top with a thin slice or grated portion of the cheese, allowing it to melt slightly.
Health Benefits
Creates a high-protein, fiber-rich open sandwich that provides sustained energy and essential nutrients.
Cheesy Dal Tadka Topper
Prepare a dal (lentil soup) of your choice, such as masoor or toor dal. Ensure it is low in salt to compensate for the cheese. Just before serving, grate a small amount (about 10g) of the cheese block over the hot dal as a garnish.
Health Benefits
Enhances a traditional protein-rich dal with extra calcium and a creamy texture, making it more appealing, especially for children.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including emulsifiers (INS 452(i), INS 339(iii)) and preservatives (INS 200, INS 235), are approved by FSSAI and are generally considered safe within permissible limits. They are essential for maintaining the texture and shelf-life of processed cheese.

Marketing Claims
The claims about containing '5 Essentials' (Protein, Calcium, Vitamins A, D, B12) are factually supported by the nutritional information. However, the marketing focuses solely on these fortified benefits while conveniently omitting the product's very high sodium and saturated fat content. This selective highlighting could mislead consumers into perceiving the product as healthier than it is, making the overall marketing strategy questionable from an ethical standpoint.
