Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its exceptionally high sodium content. A single 7g serving contains 468.51 mg of sodium, which is nearly 23.4% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance (RDA). While low in fat and calories, the excessive sodium makes it unhealthy for regular consumption, especially for individuals with hypertension or cardiovascular concerns. It also contains added sugars and preservatives.

Additive Analysis
The additives used (INS 150c, INS 260, INS 202) are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe within prescribed limits. The primary health concern stems from the extremely high sodium content, not the additives themselves.

Marketing Claims
The marketing uses slogans rather than direct health claims. While not explicitly making false claims, branding the product as a 'secret cooking weapon' encourages use without highlighting the significant health risk posed by its extremely high sodium content. This omission of critical health information can be considered questionable.
