Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its extremely high sodium content per serving (159mg in 8g), which is a significant portion of the daily recommended intake for such a small amount. While it is fat-free and low in calories, the high sugar content (second ingredient) and the presence of multiple synthetic additives, including a Class II preservative, detract from its health profile.

The additives used, including Acetic Acid (E260), Citric Acid (E330), Xanthan Gum (E415), and Sodium Benzoate (E211), are permitted by FSSAI. Sodium Benzoate (E211) is a Class II preservative and is considered safe within regulatory limits, though some consumers prefer to avoid it. Overall risk is low with moderate consumption.
