Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 200ml serving delivers 24.6g of added sugar, which is nearly 50% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. It offers no nutritional value in terms of protein, fiber, or vitamins, providing only empty calories. The presence of artificial colour (Tartrazine) and caffeine further reduces its health rating.

Additive Analysis
Contains permitted synthetic food colour (102) and preservative (211). Tartrazine (102) is a known allergen for sensitive individuals. Sodium Benzoate (211) is generally safe within FSSAI limits but its consumption should be moderated. Other additives like acidity regulators (330, 331) and stabilizer (445 (iii)) are permitted for use.
Preservatives
Artificial Colors
Artificial Flavors
No artificial flavors added
Marketing Claims
The marketing associates the high-sugar, caffeinated beverage with adventure, courage, and high-energy activities, primarily targeting a young audience. While not making false health claims, this positioning is ethically questionable from a public health perspective as it promotes an unhealthy product as a lifestyle enabler. The 'Contains Caffeine' declaration is compliant with regulations.
