Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sugar content, with a single 250ml serving containing 27.5g of sugar, which constitutes 55% of the FSSAI's recommended daily intake for added sugar. It provides no nutritional value in terms of protein, fiber, vitamins, or minerals, classifying it as a source of 'empty calories'. The presence of caffeine and additives like phosphoric acid further reduces its health score.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Sweet & Savory Cola Stir-fry
1. In a bowl, mix 100ml Coca-Cola, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste, and a pinch of black pepper. 2. Add 250g of paneer or chicken cubes and marinate for 30 minutes. 3. Sauté the marinated pieces in a pan until golden brown and the sauce thickens. 4. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds.
Health Benefits
Using cola as a marinade tenderizes the protein and adds flavour while using a smaller, cooked-down quantity of the sugary beverage.
Masala Cola Fizz
1. In a tall glass, squeeze the juice of half a lime and add a few fresh mint leaves. 2. Add a pinch of Indian black salt (kala namak) for a tangy flavour. 3. Fill the glass with plenty of ice and top with 150ml of Coca-Cola and 50ml of plain soda water. 4. Garnish with a lime wheel.
Health Benefits
This mocktail dilutes the cola with soda water, reducing the sugar concentration per serving while adding refreshing natural flavours.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Phosphoric Acid (338) and Caramel Colour (150d), are approved by FSSAI for use. While generally considered safe within permissible limits, excessive consumption of products containing these additives is discouraged. Phosphoric acid, in high quantities, can be a concern for bone health.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are factual and do not mislead the consumer. 'Original Taste' is a subjective branding statement, and 'Contains Caffeine' is a mandatory declaration. The packaging does not make any unsubstantiated health or nutritional claims.
