Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are largely truthful and compliant. 'Source of Protein & Fibre' and '100% Durum Wheat' are factually supported by the nutritional information and ingredients list. 'Healthy and Nutritious' is a reasonable claim given the product's low fat, sugar, and sodium content. 'India's No.1 Pasta' is a market position claim and considered puffery, not a direct health claim.
