Additive Analysis
The additives used, including preservatives (282, 200), emulsifiers (472e), acidity regulators, and antioxidant (300), are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption within prescribed limits. The use of food color (150a) is cosmetic and may create a misleading impression that the bread is made entirely from whole wheat.

Marketing Claims
The marketing is questionable. While claims like 'Zero Trans Fat' and 'No Palm Oil' are factually correct, the primary branding as 'Brown Bread' and 'Goodness of Whole Wheat Grains' can be misleading to consumers who may assume it is 100% whole wheat. The ingredients list reveals it contains nearly as much refined flour (Maida) as whole wheat flour, a fact not apparent from the front-of-pack marketing.
