Marketing Claims
The claim 'Made with Dal, Corn & Rice' is technically true as these are ingredients. However, it could be perceived as misleading because the product is predominantly made of Rice Meal (42.7%) and Corn Meal (19.7%), while Gram Meal (Dal) constitutes only a minor portion (3.3%). This emphasis may create a healthier impression than is warranted for a fried snack.
