Additive Analysis
The primary product, rice flakes, is a single-ingredient food with no additives, posing a very low risk. However, the risk from the 'Free Masala Inside' sachet is unknown as its ingredients are not disclosed on the packaging.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Healthy Choice', 'Pure Vegetarian', and 'Total Agriculture Product' are accurate for poha. However, the claim 'More Nutrition' is vague and potentially misleading given the low fiber and micronutrient content. The primary ethical concern is the lack of ingredient and nutritional transparency for the included 'FREE MASALA INSIDE' sachet.
