Additionally, the saturated fat content is high at 6.3 g per serving (29% of RDA). While it offers some protein and dietary fiber, the excessive sodium and high saturated fat levels make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Ramen Veggie & Tofu Stir-Fry
1. Cook the noodles as per instructions, but use only half of the seasoning sachet. 2. In a pan, stir-fry 100g of tofu/paneer and 1 cup of fresh vegetables like carrots and bell peppers. 3. Add the cooked, drained noodles and the reduced seasoning to the pan. 4. Toss everything together and serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds.
Health Benefits
This preparation boosts protein and vitamin content while cutting the sodium intake by half.
Korean Ramen Soup with Egg & Spinach
1. Prepare the ramen soup using the full packet but add an extra 200ml of water to dilute the broth. 2. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, drop in a handful of spinach and a cracked egg. 3. Stir gently to create an egg-drop soup consistency. 4. Serve immediately without adding any extra salt.
Health Benefits
Adding an egg and spinach enriches the meal with protein, iron, and essential vitamins, making it more balanced.
Additive Analysis
The product utilizes several FSSAI-approved additives, including thickeners (1420), acidity regulators (501i, 500i), flavor enhancers (627, 631), and an anticaking agent (551). These are generally recognized as safe for consumption within prescribed limits. The primary health concern stems from the nutritional imbalance, particularly the high sodium, rather than the additives themselves.

Marketing Claims
The claims '9 g Protein' and 'No preservatives' are factually supported by the nutritional and ingredient information. However, branding the product as a 'Veg Meal' is questionable. This term implies a balanced and complete meal, which is misleading given the extremely high sodium and saturated fat content, making it nutritionally poor for a standalone meal.
