Healthy Recipe Ideas
Healthy Paneer & Veggie Wrap
Spread a thin layer of ketchup on a whole-wheat chapati. Fill with grilled paneer or chickpeas, sliced onions, bell peppers, and lettuce. Roll it up for a quick meal.
Health Benefits
Adds flavor to a protein and fiber-rich wrap while controlling the portion of high-sugar sauce.
Quick Veggie Macaroni
Toss chopped vegetables like carrots, beans, and peas with boiled macaroni. Add a tablespoon of ketchup and a pinch of black pepper instead of a heavy, cream-based sauce. Serve warm.
Health Benefits
Creates a lower-fat, vegetable-rich pasta dish for kids by using ketchup as a light sauce base.
Yogurt Ketchup Dip with Baked Veggie Sticks
Mix ketchup with a little yogurt, finely chopped onion, and coriander to create a healthier dip. Serve with baked (not fried) vegetable sticks like carrots and cucumbers. This dilutes the sugar and sodium content.
Health Benefits
Offers a balanced dip with protein from yogurt and vitamins from fresh vegetables, reducing the overall sugar intake.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including thickeners (INS 1422, INS 415), an acidity regulator (INS 260), and a preservative (INS 211 - Sodium Benzoate), are all approved by FSSAI for use in specified quantities. They are generally considered safe, though Sodium Benzoate can be a concern for individuals with specific sensitivities.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are generally compliant and not misleading. 'Rich tomato ketchup' is a subjective claim but is supported by the use of 24.5% tomato paste. The 'Ranked No.1' claim is substantiated with a specific reference to a comparative test by 'Consumer Voice', a government-supported organization, which adds credibility and transparency.
