Additive Analysis
The product uses a wide range of FSSAI-approved additives including emulsifiers (INS 322, 476), humectants (INS 420, 422), raising agents (INS 500(ii), 503(ii)), stabilizers (INS 407, 406, 440, 401, 461, 415), and an acidity regulator (INS 341(i)). While these are generally considered safe, their quantity indicates a highly processed food. The presence of polyols (humectants) necessitates a warning for potential laxative effects.

Marketing Claims
While claims like '100% Vegetarian' and 'No Artificial Colours' are factually accurate, the overall marketing is questionable. Positioning a product high in sugar and saturated fat with slogans like 'Happy Moments' and imagery of children can encourage unhealthy eating habits. The 'India's No.1' claim, while likely based on sales, promotes the product's popularity over its nutritional value, which can be misleading for health-conscious consumers.
