Marketing Claims
Most claims like 'Good Source of Energy', '0% Maida', 'Low Sodium', and 'Supports Muscle Growth' (due to protein content) are accurate. However, the claim 'Boosts Your Immune System' is a strong functional claim that is difficult to substantiate for a single-ingredient product without specific fortification and may be considered misleading. 'Promotes Digestive Health' is a weak claim as the fiber content is not particularly high.
