Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its very high content of saturated fat (6.4g, approx. 29% of GDA) and sodium (556.1mg, approx. 28% of GDA) per serving. While it positively includes whole grains like oats and millets, making it a source of fiber and protein, the excessive levels of unhealthy fats and salt, along with the use of palm oil and various additives, outweigh these benefits for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Loaded Oats & Millet Noodles
1. Cook the noodles as per package instructions, but use only half the tastemaker sachet. 2. In a separate pan, stir-fry 1 cup of mixed vegetables (like carrots, bell peppers, peas, and onions) in 1 tsp of oil. 3. Drain the cooked noodles and add them to the vegetables. 4. Add the half-sachet of tastemaker, toss well, and serve hot.
Health Benefits
Enhances the meal with vitamins and minerals from fresh vegetables while reducing sodium intake by half.
High-Protein Egg Drop Noodle Soup
1. Boil the noodle cake in 1.5 cups of water. 2. When noodles are semi-cooked, add a beaten egg and stir continuously to create egg drop strands. 3. Add finely chopped spinach and half of the tastemaker sachet. 4. Simmer for another minute until the egg is cooked and noodles are ready.
Health Benefits
Creates a balanced, high-protein soup that is filling and cuts down on sodium.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including thickeners (508, 412), humectants (451i, 452i), acidity regulators (501i, 500i, 330), and flavour enhancer (635), are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe within regulated limits. However, the presence of multiple additives is typical of ultra-processed foods and may be a concern for individuals with sensitivities.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'source of FIBER & PROTEIN' and 'with 20 spices & herbs' are factually correct based on the ingredient list and nutritional panel. However, the overarching branding of 'Nutri-licious' and 'Truly Good' is questionable. These terms create a health halo, potentially misleading consumers into believing it's a wholesome food, while its high saturated fat and sodium content make it a less-than-ideal choice for frequent consumption. This is a form of 'health-washing' where positive attributes are emphasized to obscure negative ones.
