Nutritional Summary

The product scores as 'AVERAGE' due to a conflicting nutritional profile. On the positive side, it is made from 100% semolina and is low in fat and a source of protein and fiber. However, the per-serving sodium content is very high (558.1 mg), accounting for nearly 23% of the recommended daily intake. The presence of flavour enhancers and artificial color also detracts from its overall health score.

Additive Analysis

The additives used, including Colour (150d), Flavour Enhancer (635), Thickener (508), and Acidity Regulator (330), are approved by FSSAI. While generally considered safe within prescribed limits, the flavour enhancer (Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides) can cause reactions in sensitive individuals. Overall risk is low for the general population with moderate consumption.

Marketing Claims

The claim 'MADE WITH 100% SUJI/RAWA*' is accurate as the pasta component is 100% semolina. However, the claim 'GOODNESS OF PROTEIN' is slightly misleading as 6.2g per serving makes it a 'source of protein' rather than a high-protein food. The overall 'Truly GOOD' branding creates a health halo that is questionable given the very high sodium content.
