Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its extremely high sugar content per serving (27.2g), which is over 54% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance for added sugar. The presence of a synthetic color (INS 124) and a Class II preservative (INS 211) further lowers its health score. While it is a rich source of Vitamin C, the negative impact of high sugar and additives outweighs this benefit for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Litchi Yogurt Lassi
1. In a blender, combine one bottle of Fresca Litchi, 1 cup of plain yogurt (dahi), and 5-6 ice cubes. 2. Blend until smooth and creamy. 3. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with a mint leaf. Do not add extra sugar.
Health Benefits
Transforms the sugary drink into a protein-rich lassi, slowing sugar absorption and adding probiotics for gut health.
Diluted Litchi Spritzer
1. Mix half a bottle (80ml) of Fresca Litchi with 200ml of chilled sparkling water or club soda. 2. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime. 3. Serve in a glass with ice and a slice of lemon for a refreshing, lower-sugar drink.
Health Benefits
Dilutes the drink to significantly cut the sugar content per glass while creating a refreshing fizzy beverage.
Litchi Flavor Ice Cubes
1. Pour Fresca Litchi juice into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. 2. Add 3-4 frozen litchi cubes to a glass of plain water or coconut water. 3. Allow the cubes to melt slowly, infusing the water with a hint of flavor.
Health Benefits
Provides a very low-sugar way to flavor water, encouraging hydration without a significant calorie intake.
Additive Analysis
The product contains a Permitted Class II Preservative (INS 211 - Sodium Benzoate) and a synthetic food color (INS 124 - Ponceau 4R). While permitted by FSSAI, regular consumption of these additives is not recommended. INS 124 is a controversial colorant, and INS 211 can form trace amounts of benzene in the presence of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), which this product is rich in.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Rich source of Vitamin C' is factually supported by the nutritional information. The 'Pulp in every gulp' claim is supported by the 10% pulp content. However, marketing the product on these positive points alone creates a misleading 'health halo', distracting from the very high sugar content and the use of synthetic additives. This selective information can mislead consumers into believing it is a healthier choice than it is.
