Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly primarily due to its extremely high added sugar content, with a single 240ml serving containing 27.84g of added sugar, which is over 55% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. The presence of synthetic food colors (INS 102, INS 110) and low actual fruit content (14%) further reduce its health rating. It is essentially a sugar-sweetened beverage with minimal nutritional benefits.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Refreshing Peach Iced Tea

Health Benefits
Dilutes the high sugar concentration while adding antioxidants from tea and vitamin C from lime.
Peach & Yogurt Smoothie

Health Benefits
Creates a more balanced snack by adding protein from yogurt and fiber from chia seeds, which helps to manage the blood sugar spike.
Frozen Peach Fruit Pops
1. Pour the peach drink into popsicle molds. 2. Add small pieces of fresh fruits like kiwi or berries into the molds. 3. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours. 4. Serve as a homemade fruit popsicle.

Additive Analysis
The product contains synthetic food colors INS 102 (Tartrazine) and INS 110 (Sunset Yellow FCF). While permitted by FSSAI, these additives have been linked to potential hyperactivity in children and allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Other additives like Citric Acid (INS 330) and Carboxymethyl cellulose (INS 466) are generally considered safe for consumption.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Made from ripe & succulent peaches' is questionable as the product contains only 14% peach puree, with water and sugar being the main components. The claim 'No artificial flavours' is misleading because 'Nature-Identical flavouring Substances' are chemically synthesized, not natural. The 'No added preservatives' claim is technically correct regarding common Class II preservatives, but citric acid (INS 330) does function as a preservative.
