Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high content of added sugar (17.8g per 125ml serving), which constitutes over 35% of the FSSAI's recommended daily intake. It has low fruit content (11.2%) and contains artificial color (INS 110). It offers negligible nutritional benefits like fiber, protein, or micronutrients, making it a sugar-sweetened beverage rather than a healthy fruit drink.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Frooti Mango Lassi
Blend 50ml of Frooti with 150g of plain yogurt (dahi) and a pinch of cardamom until smooth. This dilutes the sugar and adds protein and probiotics from the yogurt. Serve chilled.
Health Benefits
Adds protein and probiotics from yogurt while reducing the overall sugar concentration of the drink.
Quick Mango Chia Pudding
In a jar, mix 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 60ml of Frooti and 60ml of milk (dairy or plant-based). Stir well and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Top with fresh fruit before serving.
Health Benefits
Incorporates fiber, omega-3s, and protein from chia seeds and milk, creating a more balanced snack.
Frooti Mango Spritzer
Freeze Frooti in an ice cube tray. Add 3-4 frozen Frooti cubes to a glass of sparkling water with a squeeze of lime and a mint sprig for a refreshing, lower-sugar spritzer.
Health Benefits
Significantly lowers the sugar per serving by using the product as a flavouring agent rather than the main beverage.
Additive Analysis
The product contains INS 110 (Sunset Yellow FCF), an artificial color permitted by FSSAI but which may cause intolerance in sensitive individuals. Other additives like acidity regulators, stabilizers, and antioxidants are generally recognized as safe within FSSAI limits. The product is thermally processed, eliminating the need for chemical preservatives.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are technically true but can be misleading. While it 'Contains Fruit', the low percentage (11.2%) is not prominently displayed, and the primary ingredients are water and sugar. The prominent display of mangoes may lead consumers to believe it is healthier than it is. The 'Mango Drink' classification is accurate under FSSAI for a fruit-based beverage but does not reflect its high sugar content.
