Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores well for having zero sugar, fat, and very low calories per serving. It effectively provides electrolytes like sodium and potassium for rehydration. However, the grade is lowered to 'AVERAGE' due to the presence of multiple artificial additives, including the artificial color (110 - Sunset Yellow FCF), artificial sweeteners (Sucralose, Stevia), and preservatives. While functional for athletes, it is not recommended for regular consumption as a casual beverage.

Electrolyte Ice Pops
Pour Gatorade Zero into popsicle molds. For added fruit, drop in a few blueberries or raspberry pieces into each mold. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until solid. A perfect way to cool down and rehydrate on a hot day.

Additive Analysis
The product contains several FSSAI-approved additives. The artificial color (110 - Sunset Yellow FCF) is permitted but is known to cause hypersensitivity reactions in a small subset of the population. The artificial sweeteners (955 - Sucralose, 960a - Steviol Glycoside) are considered safe for consumption within acceptable daily intake limits. Other additives like acidity regulators, sequestrants, and stabilizers are generally recognized as safe at the levels used in food products.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are largely accurate and compliant. 'Zero Sugar' is factually correct based on the nutritional information. 'Electrolytes & Fluids' is also true, as the product contains water, sodium, and potassium. The claim 'Scientifically formulated to help you rehydrate' is a standard marketing phrase for sports drinks and is defensible given the product's composition. The claims do not mislead the consumer about the product's primary function.
