Marketing Claims
The primary claim 'Wholewheat Marie' is questionable as the main ingredient is Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) at 52.1%, while Whole Wheat Flour (Atta) is only 19.5%. This may mislead consumers into believing it is a healthier, predominantly whole-wheat product. The 'TRANS FAT FREE' and 'CONTAINS CALCIUM' claims are factually accurate based on the nutrition panel.
