Nutritional Summary
The product receives an average score. Positive aspects include the use of semolina (suji) for the pasta and low levels of added sugar and fat per serving. However, the score is significantly brought down by the very high sodium content (391.4 mg per serving, nearly 20% of the daily recommended intake) and the inclusion of multiple additives like flavour enhancers and artificial colors.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Thickener (508), Flavour Enhancer (635), and Colour (150d), are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe within permissible limits. However, the reliance on flavour enhancers and artificial colors may be a concern for consumers seeking natural products.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Made with 100% Suji/Rawa' is specific to the pasta component only, while the tastemaker contains refined wheat flour (Maida). This could be potentially misleading for consumers who might assume the entire product is suji-based. The 'Goodness of Protein' claim is reasonable given the 6.6g of protein per serving.
