Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are generally compliant and factually based on the product's composition and preparation instructions. The 'Ready in 3 minutes' claim, prominently displayed, refers specifically to deep frying, which is the least healthy cooking option. The healthier baking option takes significantly longer (15-18 minutes), which is mentioned only on the back. While not technically misleading, it prioritizes convenience over promoting healthier preparation.
