Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its very high sodium (700mg, 35% of daily limit) and high saturated fat (5.8g, 26% of daily limit) content per serving. The primary ingredient is refined wheat flour (Maida), which lacks fiber. It also contains multiple food additives, including a flavour enhancer (635) and artificial colour (150d). While fortified with iron, the significant negative aspects make it unsuitable for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie & Protein-Loaded Maggi
1. Prepare Maggi noodles using only half the tastemaker sachet to reduce sodium. 2. In a separate pan, stir-fry 1 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, peas). 3. Add 50g of paneer cubes or a scrambled egg for protein. 4. Combine the cooked noodles with the vegetables and protein, and serve hot.
Health Benefits
Boosts fiber, vitamin, and protein content, creating a more balanced meal while lowering the sodium intake.
Hearty Maggi Noodle Soup
1. Boil 2 cups of water instead of 1. 2. Add the noodle cake and finely chopped spinach and mushrooms. 3. Cook for 2-3 minutes until noodles are soft. 4. Stir in half the tastemaker sachet and a pinch of black pepper. 5. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Health Benefits
Creates a more hydrating and nutrient-dense soup with added vitamins and minerals from fresh vegetables.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, such as thickeners (508, 412), acidity regulators (501i, 500i, 330), humectant (451i), flavour enhancer (635), and colour (150d), are generally permitted by FSSAI within specified limits. However, high consumption of products with multiple additives, particularly flavour enhancers and artificial colours, is not recommended. The high sodium content is a significant health concern.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Made with Quality Spices' and 'Goodness of Iron' are factually based, as the product contains spices and is fortified with iron. However, using phrases like 'Take Good' and 'Truly Good' is misleading as it creates a health halo around a product that is high in sodium, saturated fat, and made from refined flour. This selectively highlights minor positives while ignoring significant nutritional drawbacks.
