While it is low in added sugar and free of trans fats, it is also low in dietary fiber and protein, making it less satiating and nutritionally balanced for a breakfast meal.

Marketing Claims
The claims '3 Minute Breakfast' and 'NO COOKING' are accurate. 'NO ADDED PRESERVATIVES' and 'Transfat Free' are also factually correct based on the ingredient list and nutritional panel. However, the claim 'Source of Protein' is questionable, as 4.8g of protein per serving is a modest amount for a meal and may not meet the FSSAI criteria for such a claim, potentially misleading consumers about its nutritional value.
