Additive Analysis
The additives used are within FSSAI permissible limits. However, it contains a synthetic color (INS 110) and a Class II preservative (INS 211), which can be a concern for sensitive individuals and children. Other additives like acidity regulators, stabilizers, and antioxidants are generally considered safe.

Marketing Claims
The claims are technically compliant with FSSAI regulations for a 'fruit drink'. However, calling it a 'Mango Drink' when the primary ingredients are water and sugar with only 11.2% fruit pulp could be perceived as borderline misleading to consumers expecting a healthier, fruit-based beverage.
