Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its very high sugar content. A single 200ml serving contains 22g of added sugar, which is 44% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. The presence of multiple additives, including Class II preservatives (E-211) and artificial color (E150d), further lowers its health score. While it is fat-free, the excessive sugar makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Jeera Soda Virgin Mojito
1. In a tall glass, muddle a few fresh mint leaves and two lemon wedges. 2. Fill the glass with crushed ice. 3. Pour 100ml of the Hazam Jeera Soda. 4. Top up with 100ml of plain sparkling water to dilute the sweetness. 5. Garnish with a lemon slice and serve.
Health Benefits
Creates a refreshing drink with half the sugar of the original beverage while adding the freshness of mint and lemon.
Spiced Buttermilk (Chaas) Cooler
1. In a blender, combine 150ml of plain, unsweetened buttermilk (chaas) and 50ml of Hazam Jeera Soda. 2. Add a pinch of roasted cumin powder and some fresh chopped coriander leaves. 3. Blend for 10 seconds until just combined and slightly frothy. 4. Serve chilled as a digestive aid after a meal.
Health Benefits
Combines the probiotic benefits of buttermilk with the jeera flavor, creating a more balanced and significantly less sugary drink.
Additive Analysis
Contains E-211 (Sodium Benzoate) and E150d (Caramel Colour), which are approved by FSSAI within permissible limits. However, regular consumption of products with these additives is generally discouraged. Sodium Benzoate can potentially form benzene in the presence of ascorbic acid. The additives are legally permissible but detract from the product's health profile.

Artificial Flavors
No artificial flavors added
Marketing Claims
The claim 'fruit beverage' is technically compliant with FSSAI regulations for carbonated beverages (>10% juice), as it contains 12% reconstituted juice. However, it can be misleading for consumers seeking a healthy fruit-based drink, as the product is primarily sugar and carbonated water. The name 'Hazam' (implying digestion) suggests a health benefit that is anecdotal and not substantiated for this specific formulation.
