Nutritional Summary
The product receives a poor rating primarily due to its very high sodium content (288mg per 20g slice, which is approximately 14.4% of the FSSAI's recommended daily limit) and high saturated fat content (2.9g per slice, about 13% of the daily limit). As a highly processed food with multiple emulsifiers and a preservative, its nutritional value is diminished despite being a source of protein and calcium and having zero sugar.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, including emulsifiers (INS 331(iii), INS 322, INS 339(iii)), preservative (INS 200), acidity regulator (INS 260), and natural color (INS 160a(ii)), are all permitted by FSSAI for use in processed cheese. While generally considered safe within regulatory limits, the product is highly processed, and frequent consumption of multiple additives is not ideal.
