Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its extremely high sodium content. A single 20g serving contains 432 mg of sodium, which is 21.6% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. It also contains added sugars and multiple food additives, including flavour enhancers and a preservative. While low in fat, the excessive sodium makes it unsuitable for regular or liberal consumption.

Additive Analysis
The product contains a Class II preservative (INS 211 - Sodium Benzoate) and flavour enhancers (INS 627, 631), which are permitted by FSSAI within specified limits. The primary health concern is not the additives but the extremely high sodium content. Individuals sensitive to flavour enhancers should exercise caution.

Marketing Claims
The claim '100% real Vegetables' is technically true as the product contains vegetable components. However, this claim can be misleading as it creates a healthy perception while diverting attention from the fact that the product is very high in sodium and contains added sugar, flavour enhancers, and preservatives. The total vegetable content is approximately 21%, with water and sugar being significant components.
