Additive Analysis
The additives used, including flavour enhancers (627, 631), emulsifiers, and regulators, are approved by FSSAI. While generally considered safe for consumption within limits, the presence of multiple additives, especially flavour enhancers, makes the product highly processed and may be a concern for individuals with sensitivities.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims focus on flavour and brand image rather than health benefits. The term 'Classic Cheese Flavour' is a subjective taste descriptor and is supported by the presence of cheese powder and flavourings. The claims are not misleading and accurately represent the product as a savoury snack.
