Spinach and Egg Drop Maggi Soup
1. Prepare the noodles with the full tastemaker sachet and 250ml of water for a soupy consistency. 2. While it's simmering, crack an egg directly into the pot and stir gently to create silky egg ribbons. 3. Add a handful of spinach leaves and let them wilt. 4. Serve immediately, garnished with spring onions.
Health Benefits

Additive Analysis
The additives used are approved by FSSAI for use in specified food categories within permissible limits. However, the presence of a flavour enhancer (INS 635) and phosphates (INS 451(i)) may be a concern for individuals sensitive to these ingredients or with high daily consumption of processed foods.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Truly GOOD' is subjective and potentially misleading given the high levels of sodium and saturated fat. The 'With goodness of Iron' claim is factually correct as it is fortified, but it selectively highlights a positive aspect while ignoring the significant negatives, which can mislead consumers into perceiving the product as healthier than it is. The 'Recipe of 20 Spices & Herbs' claim is used to imply naturalness in a highly processed food product.
