Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its per-serving nutritional profile. A single 70g serving contains extremely high levels of saturated fat (6.9g, 35% of GDA) and sodium (729.1mg, 30% of GDA). The primary ingredient is refined wheat flour (Maida), which is low in fiber. Despite being low in sugar, the excessive saturated fat and sodium make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Vegetable-Loaded Maggi
1. Boil the Maggi noodles as per package instructions but use only half of the tastemaker sachet. 2. In a separate pan, stir-fry 1 cup of mixed vegetables like carrots, peas, and bell peppers. 3. Drain the noodles and add them to the stir-fried vegetables. 4. Mix well and serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander.
Health Benefits
Enhances the meal with fiber and vitamins from fresh vegetables while reducing sodium intake by half.
High-Protein Egg & Spinach Maggi
1. Cook the noodles with half the tastemaker and less water to keep them relatively dry. 2. In a pan, scramble two eggs. 3. Add the cooked noodles to the scrambled eggs and mix well. 4. Add a handful of spinach and cook until wilted. Serve immediately.
Health Benefits
Significantly increases the protein content with eggs and adds iron and vitamins from spinach, creating a more balanced meal.
Additive Analysis
The product contains several FSSAI-approved additives including thickeners, acidity regulators, a humectant, a flavour enhancer, and an artificial color (caramel color 150d). While these are generally recognized as safe within permissible limits, the presence of flavour enhancer (635) and high sodium content can be a concern for individuals with sensitivity or hypertension. Overall risk is low for occasional consumption but not recommended for daily intake.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'TRULY GOOD' is subjective and potentially misleading. While the product contains spices, its primary ingredient is refined flour and it is exceptionally high in sodium and saturated fat, which contradicts the notion of it being a 'good' or healthy product. This creates a health halo that is not supported by the nutritional facts. The 'Without Onion & Garlic' claim is accurate.
