Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its extremely high sodium content, with a single serving providing 558.1 mg (approximately 28% of the FSSAI's recommended daily intake). While it is low in fat and provides some protein and fiber, the reliance on refined flour (Suji) and the presence of multiple additives like flavour enhancers and artificial color detract from its health value. It is considered a highly processed food not suitable for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Loaded Masala Penne
1. Prepare the Maggi Pazzta as per package instructions. 2. While it simmers, sauté 1/2 cup of mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, and corn) in a separate pan. 3. Stir the sautéed vegetables into the cooked pasta. 4. Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander.
Health Benefits
Enhances the meal with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber from fresh vegetables, helping to offset the processed nature of the pasta.
Protein-Boosted Paneer Pazzta
1. Cook the Pazzta according to the package directions. 2. In the final 2 minutes of cooking, stir in 50g of crumbled paneer and a handful of boiled chickpeas. 3. Mix well until the paneer is heated through. 4. Serve immediately for a creamy, protein-rich meal.
Health Benefits
Significantly boosts the protein and fiber content, making it a more satiating and nutritionally balanced meal.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Colour (150d), Flavour Enhancer (635), Thickener (508), and Acidity Regulator (330), are permitted by FSSAI. However, their presence indicates a highly processed product. The primary health concern is the overall nutritional imbalance, particularly the high sodium content, rather than the additives themselves at these levels.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Made with 100% Suji/Rawa' is factually correct. However, the claims 'Truly Good' and 'Goodness of Protein' are subjective and create a misleading health halo. The product is extremely high in sodium, which contradicts the 'Truly Good' image. While it contains protein, calling it 'Goodness of Protein' is an exaggeration for a modest 6.2g per serving. The marketing downplays the significant negative nutritional aspects.
