Healthy Recipe Ideas
Virgin Limca Mojito
In a tall glass, muddle a few fresh mint leaves with 2-3 lime wedges. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Top it up with Limca and stir gently. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig.
Health Benefits
Adds a small amount of Vitamin C from fresh lime and antioxidants from mint, making it a slightly more refreshing mocktail.
Masala Limca Cooler
Take a glass and add a pinch of black salt, a pinch of roasted cumin powder, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Add ice cubes. Pour Limca over the spices and stir well to combine.
Health Benefits
The added Indian spices can potentially aid digestion and add a savory twist, encouraging slower consumption.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including acidity regulators (330, 331), stabilizers (414, 471), and preservative (211), are permitted by FSSAI. However, preservative 211 (Sodium Benzoate) can be a concern for sensitive individuals. The primary health risk comes from the extremely high sugar content, not the additives themselves under normal consumption.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims focus on the flavor ('Lime 'N' Lemoni') and are not misleading. The product does not make any unsubstantiated health claims. The branding is honest about it being a flavored carbonated beverage.
