Additive Analysis
The product contains a wide array of synthetic food colors permitted by FSSAI. However, colors like Tartrazine (102), Sunset Yellow (110), and Ponceau 4R (124) have been linked to potential hyperactivity in children and may cause reactions in sensitive individuals. The overall additive load is high for a single product.

Marketing Claims
The marketing heavily targets children through co-branding with popular franchises (Jurassic World), contests, and free toys. While not making false health claims, this strategy promotes a product with a very poor nutritional profile to a vulnerable audience, which is ethically questionable and encourages unhealthy snacking habits.
