Healthy Recipe Ideas
Fibre-Rich Veggie Pasta
1. Sauté 1 cup of chopped vegetables (like bell peppers, broccoli, carrots) in minimal oil. 2. Add boiled whole wheat pasta and half a serving (about 30g) of the red sauce. 3. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. 4. Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of cheese.
Health Benefits
This recipe boosts fiber and vitamin intake by adding fresh vegetables, while using a smaller portion of the high-sodium sauce.
Whole Wheat Paneer Tikka Pizza
1. Take a whole wheat or multigrain pizza base. 2. Spread a thin layer (about 30-40g) of the red sauce. 3. Top generously with paneer cubes, corn, onions, and capsicum. 4. Bake until the crust is crisp and toppings are cooked. Avoid adding extra salt.
Health Benefits
Using a whole wheat base adds fiber, and protein-rich paneer and vegetables create a more balanced meal.
Additive Analysis
The product contains several FSSAI-approved additives, including acidity regulators (INS260, INS330), emulsifiers/stabilizers (INS322(i), INS415), a preservative (INS211), and an antioxidant (INS319). While these are considered safe within regulatory limits, the presence of multiple additives indicates a highly processed product. Consumers sensitive to preservatives or seeking natural foods should be cautious.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are functional and do not make any misleading health assertions. The product is presented as a convenience sauce for pasta and pizza, which is an accurate representation of its purpose. The branding 'Funfoods' aligns with its nature as a taste-enhancer rather than a health food.
