Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 200ml serving contains 26.6g of added sugar, which is 53.2% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. The presence of artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives further lowers its health score. While it is fat-free and low in sodium, the excessive sugar makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Healthier Mango Lassi
1. In a blender, combine 1 cup of plain yogurt (dahi) and 100ml of Maaza. 2. Add a pinch of cardamom for flavor and a few ice cubes. 3. Blend until smooth and frothy, then pour into a glass. Do not add any extra sugar.

Sparkling Mango Refresher

Additive Analysis
Contains Class II Preservative (Potassium Sorbate), Acidity Regulators (INS 300, 331(iii)), Antioxidant (INS 300 - Ascorbic Acid), and Artificial Colour (INS 110 - Sunset Yellow FCF). While these additives are permitted by FSSAI, the presence of artificial color and flavors detracts from the product's naturalness. Sunset Yellow FCF is a synthetic dye that has been linked to hyperactivity in some children and may cause allergic reactions.

Marketing Claims
The marketing uses imagery of fresh mangoes and the term 'Original' to create a perception of a natural, wholesome fruit beverage. However, the product is a sugar-sweetened drink with only 19.5% fruit pulp and contains multiple artificial additives. This can be misleading for consumers seeking a healthy fruit juice. The term 'Fruit Drink' is technically compliant with FSSAI standards but does not reflect the high sugar content.
