Nutritional Summary
The product scores well for using whole grains like quinoa and corn, and seeds like chia and flax, which contribute to a good fiber content (3g per serving). The absence of added sugar and trans fats is a major positive. However, as a fried snack, it is high in total fat (7g per serving) and moderately high in sodium (185mg per serving), which prevents a higher rating. It is a better choice compared to conventional snacks but should be consumed in moderation.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Gluten Free', 'Non-GMO', and 'Cholesterol Free' are supported by the nutritional panel and ingredient list. However, the claim 'Rich in Protein' is questionable, as 2g of protein per serving contributes only 5.6% of the total energy, which does not meet FSSAI's 'High Protein' (20%) or even 'Source of Protein' (10%) criteria. The tagline 'The Healthy Nachos' is subjective and could be misleading, as the product is still an energy-dense, high-fat fried snack.
