Additive Analysis
The additives used, such as stabilizers (INS 339(ii), 340(ii), 407), emulsifiers (INS 471), and acidity regulators (INS 331(iii), 334), are permitted by FSSAI. However, the presence of flavour enhancer INS 635 (Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides) is a concern for sensitive individuals, including young children and those with gout. Overall, the product is highly processed, and consumption should be in moderation.

Marketing Claims
The central marketing claim 'Cheese Balls' is questionable and potentially misleading. The product contains only 0.05% cheese solids, meaning the characteristic flavor is almost entirely derived from artificial and nature-identical flavouring substances, not actual cheese. The prominent image of a block of cheese on the packaging further reinforces this misleading impression.
