Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'GOOD' rating based on its per-serving nutritional profile. It is low in sodium (51.55mg), has no added sugar, and contains zero trans fat. The use of olive oil is a positive. The score is slightly reduced from excellent due to the presence of multiple food additives, including flavour enhancers and acidity regulators, which detracts from its 'natural' positioning.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, including acidity regulators (E330, E334), anti-caking agents (E551, E341(ii)), and flavour enhancers (E627, E631), are generally permitted by FSSAI. While considered safe for the general population, the presence of multiple synthetic ingredients and flavour enhancers may be a concern for individuals seeking 'all-natural' products or those sensitive to MSG-like compounds.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Gluten Free', 'Plant Based', and 'Roasted in Olive Oil' are accurate based on the ingredients. However, the claims 'Protein Rich' (1.63g per serving) and 'Calcium Rich' (13.68mg per serving) are exaggerated and potentially misleading, as the per-serving amounts are not significant contributors to the daily recommended intake. The health claims 'Good for Heart' and 'Helps in Loosing Weight' are plausible for a low-calorie snack but are strong claims that can be difficult to substantiate.
