Nutritional Summary
The product scores as AVERAGE. It has positive attributes such as being very low in fat (0.39g/serving) and fortified with 8 essential vitamins and minerals. However, its health rating is significantly brought down by the high sugar content (7.65g per 30g serving), which constitutes over 25% of the product's weight. While it contains whole wheat, the primary ingredient is refined rice, and the fiber content (1.53g/serving) is modest.

Marketing Claims
The claims are mostly factual but some can be misleading. The '2% Fat only' claim is a simplification, as the product is 1.3% fat. The 'Source of protein' claim is questionable, as protein contributes less than 10% of the energy per serving, which may not meet FSSAI guidelines for this claim. While it is fortified with 8 nutrients and contains whole wheat, the marketing heavily implies a weight-management/health focus, which contrasts with the high sugar content.
