Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its extremely high added sugar content. A single 180ml serving contains 26g of added sugar, which constitutes 52% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. While fortified with calcium, zinc, and vitamins, the excessive sugar makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption, especially for children.

Health Benefits
Adds natural fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants, making it a more balanced and satiating meal.

Health Benefits

Additive Analysis
The additives used, including emulsifiers, stabilizers, and sequestrants, are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption within prescribed limits. The primary preservation method is UHT treatment. The use of artificial and nature-identical flavors, while permitted, detracts from the product's naturalness.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are technically true as the product is fortified with the mentioned nutrients. However, prominently advertising 'Immunity Support' and 'Goodness of Vitamins' on a product with 26g of added sugar per serving is misleading. This 'health halo' marketing can deceive consumers into perceiving it as a healthy beverage, while its primary ingredient after water and milk solids is sugar.
