Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its very high added sugar content, with a single 200ml serving containing 13.6g of sugar, which is 27.2% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. It offers no nutritional benefits like fiber, protein, or vitamins, providing only 'empty calories'. The presence of artificial color (Sunset Yellow FCF) and preservatives further lowers its health score.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Mirinda Orange Spritzer
1. Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice cubes. 2. Pour 100ml of Mirinda over the ice. 3. Top up the glass with 150ml of plain sparkling water or soda. 4. Garnish with a fresh orange wedge and a mint sprig before serving.
Health Benefits
This preparation dilutes the beverage, effectively halving the sugar content per glass while maintaining a refreshing fizz.
Frozen Mirinda Slushie
1. Pour 150ml of Mirinda into an ice cube tray and freeze for 3-4 hours until solid. 2. Place the frozen Mirinda cubes in a blender with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. 3. Blend until a smooth, slushie consistency is formed. 4. Serve immediately in a chilled glass.
Health Benefits
Creates a refreshing, larger-volume dessert that helps with portion control and reduces the amount of beverage consumed.
Additive Analysis
The product contains FSSAI-permitted additives including an artificial color (Sunset Yellow FCF), a preservative (Sodium Benzoate), acidity regulators, a stabilizer, and artificial sweeteners (Sucralose, Steviol Glycoside). While these are approved for consumption, high intake of artificial colors and preservatives is generally discouraged, particularly for children and sensitive individuals.

Marketing Claims
The claims are technically correct. However, highlighting the presence of 'non-caloric sweeteners' while the product is simultaneously high in sugar can be confusing for consumers. It may create a misleading 'health halo', suggesting the product is healthier or lower in sugar than it actually is. The primary sweetener remains sugar, which is not emphasized.
