It is a highly processed food containing numerous additives, including thickeners, regulators, and flavour enhancers. While low in sugar and a source of protein, the high fat content and processed nature make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Air-Fried Chilli Cheese Nuggets with Side Salad
1. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C. 2. Place the frozen nuggets in the basket in a single layer. 3. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crisp. 4. Serve immediately with a fresh salad of mixed greens, cucumber, and tomatoes with a light lemon dressing.
Health Benefits
Air-frying significantly reduces the added fat and calories compared to deep-frying, creating a lighter snack.
Cheesy Nugget Kathi Roll
1. Bake or air-fry the nuggets until cooked. 2. Lightly toast a whole-wheat chapati. 3. Spread a layer of mint-coriander chutney on the chapati. 4. Place 3-4 nuggets, along with sliced onions and capsicum, and roll it up tightly.
Health Benefits
This recipe incorporates whole grains for fiber and fresh vegetables for added vitamins and crunch.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple FSSAI-approved additives, including a preservative (INS 224 in Jalapenos), acidity regulators, thickeners, and flavour enhancers (INS 627, INS 631). While approved for consumption within limits, the high number of additives indicates a highly processed product. Individuals sensitive to sulphites (INS 224) or MSG-like compounds should be cautious.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'No Added Preservatives' on the front of the package is misleading because the ingredient list clearly shows a preservative (INS 224) used in the jalapeño component. While the claim that 'Cheddar Cheese is a good source of protein' is true, it selectively highlights a positive attribute while ignoring the product's high saturated fat and overall processed nature. The marketing focuses on convenience and taste, which could be seen as downplaying the less healthy aspects of the product.
