Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high content of added sugar and saturated fat per serving. A single 23.7g pack contains over 16g of added sugar, which is approximately 32% of the FSSAI recommended daily allowance. It also contains hydrogenated oils, numerous artificial colors, and offers negligible dietary fiber or micronutrients, making it a nutritionally deficient, high-calorie snack.

Additive Analysis
The product contains a wide array of artificial colors, some of which (like Tartrazine and Sunset Yellow) have been linked to hyperactivity in children and potential allergic reactions. While these are permitted by FSSAI within limits, their combination in a product marketed to children is a concern. The emulsifiers (414, 442, 476) and glazing agent (903) are generally considered safe.

Marketing Claims
The marketing heavily targets children through the use of 'Jurassic World' branding, a free toy ('Dino Maze'), and contests. Phrases like 'Temptingly Playful' and 'Moments of Masti' position this high-sugar, nutritionally poor product as a fun and regular treat. This strategy is ethically questionable as it encourages consumption of an unhealthy product by a vulnerable audience.
