Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its extremely high sodium content (700mg per serving, 35% of GDA) and high saturated fat (5.8g per serving, 26% of GDA). It is primarily made from refined wheat flour (Maida), offering minimal dietary fiber. While fortified with iron, the negative aspects of high sodium and unhealthy fats significantly outweigh this benefit, making it unsuitable for regular consumption.

Additive Analysis
The additives used are permitted by FSSAI within regulated limits. However, the presence of multiple additives including thickeners, acidity regulators, humectants, and a flavour enhancer (635) categorizes this as a highly processed food. The high sodium content poses a greater health risk than the additives themselves for regular consumers.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Made with quality spices' and 'Goodness of Iron' are factually supported. However, the overarching claim 'Truly Good' is ethically questionable as it significantly downplays the product's extremely high sodium and saturated fat content. While the GDA information is present as required by law, it is not prominent, and the marketing may mislead consumers into perceiving the product as healthier than it is.
