Additive Analysis
The product contains several FSSAI-approved additives including Thickeners (INS 508, INS 412), Acidity Regulators (INS 501(i), INS 500(i)), a Humectant (INS 451(i)), and a Flavour Enhancer (INS 635). While these are generally recognized as safe within prescribed limits, the high number of additives contributes to the product's highly processed nature. INS 635 can be a concern for individuals sensitive to MSG or those with gout.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims focus on the flavor profile ('Spicy Cheesy') and novelty ('New'), which are subjective and not health-related. The packaging includes a 'Suggested Garnishing' disclaimer, which is a transparent practice. The brand does not make any misleading nutritional or health claims, and the detailed nutritional information is clearly provided, allowing for informed consumer choice.
