Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its extremely high saturated fat content per serving (3.1g), which constitutes about 14% of the daily recommended intake in a small 20g portion. While it is low in trans fat and uses groundnut oil, the high levels of total fat and calories make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Spicy Wafer Chaat
Lightly crush a serving of wafers and toss with chopped onion, tomato, boiled potato, and a sprinkle of chaat masala. Add a drizzle of tamarind chutney and lemon juice. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Health Benefits
Balances the fried snack with fresh vegetables and fiber, turning it into a more complete chaat.
Crunchy Wafer Raita
Whisk plain yogurt until smooth and mix in grated cucumber and a pinch of roasted cumin powder. Just before serving, top the raita with crushed spicy wafers. Serve immediately.
Health Benefits
Adds probiotics and cooling elements from yogurt and cucumber to offset the spicy, fried nature of the wafers.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid E-330), Colour (Paprika Oleoresin E160c), and Flavour Enhancers (Ammonium Chloride E510, Disodium 5' ribonucleotides E635), are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe within permissible limits. However, E635 can cause reactions in individuals sensitive to MSG.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Made with 100% Groundnut Oil', 'No Palm Oil', and 'Zero Trans Fat' are factually supported by the nutritional information. However, these claims create a 'health halo', potentially misleading consumers into believing it's a healthy snack, while ignoring the very high saturated fat and calorie density. This selective marketing is ethically questionable as it obscures the overall unhealthy nature of the product.
