Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 35g serving contains 32.2g of added sugar, which constitutes over 64% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. Despite being fortified with vitamins and minerals, its nutritional value is overwhelmingly negated by the massive sugar load, which offers only empty calories. The presence of synthetic color further detracts from its score.

Additive Analysis
The product contains Acidity Regulator (INS 330 - Citric Acid), which is generally safe. However, it uses Synthetic Colour (INS 110 - Sunset Yellow FCF), which is permitted by FSSAI but can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals and has been linked to hyperactivity in children. The use of nature-identical flavors is also noted. Overall, the additives are within FSSAI limits but reduce the product's health profile.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Instant Energy' is factually correct due to the high glucose and sucrose content. However, marketing this high-sugar product with imagery of healthy, active families could be misleading, as it downplays the significant health risks associated with excessive sugar consumption. It positions the product as a beneficial supplement rather than a high-sugar treat for occasional use.
