Despite the 'No Preservatives' claim, its core nutritional profile is unbalanced and unhealthy for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Loaded Whole Wheat Pasta
Sauté 1 cup of mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, corn) in 1 tsp of oil. Add 100g of boiled whole wheat pasta. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons (30-40g) of the pink sauce and mix until well-coated. Garnish with fresh basil.
Health Benefits
This recipe enhances fiber and vitamin content with whole grains and fresh vegetables, while using the sauce in moderation.
Quick & Healthy Tortilla Pizza
Take a whole wheat tortilla or chapati as a base. Spread a thin layer (1-2 tablespoons) of the pink sauce. Top with chopped onions, mushrooms, olives, and a sprinkle of paneer or tofu. Bake at 180°C for 5-7 minutes until crisp.
Health Benefits
Creates a high-fiber, protein-rich pizza alternative with controlled portions of sauce to manage sodium and fat intake.

Marketing Claims
The 'No Preservatives added' claim is technically accurate as no artificial preservatives like sorbates or benzoates are listed. However, it can be perceived as misleading because the product relies on high levels of salt and sugar, along with natural extracts, for preservation. This claim distracts consumers from the unhealthy nutritional profile, particularly the very high sodium and sugar content.
