Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high added sugar content. A single 200ml serving contains 22g of added sugar, which is 44% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. It is essentially a sugar-sweetened beverage with only 10% fruit pulp and contains preservatives. While fortified with Vitamin C, the excessive sugar makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Health Benefits

Health Benefits
Combining the drink with yogurt adds protein and probiotics, creating a more balanced and filling beverage.
Additive Analysis
The product contains INS 330 (Citric Acid), INS 440 (Pectin), INS 300 (Ascorbic Acid), and INS 211 (Sodium Benzoate). All are permitted under FSSAI regulations within specified limits. However, regular consumption of products with Class II preservatives like Sodium Benzoate is generally discouraged.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'DRINK FRUIT' is questionable for a beverage that is 90% water, sugar, and additives, with only 10% fruit pulp. While 'RICH SOURCE OF VITAMINS' is technically true due to fortification with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), the overall marketing presents a high-sugar drink as a healthy fruit product, which can be misleading to consumers.
