Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly primarily due to its extremely high sodium content, with a single 60g serving containing 800mg of sodium, which is 40% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. Additionally, the saturated fat content is moderately high at 14% of the RDA per serving. While it is convenient, low in added sugar, and free of trans fats, the excessive sodium makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, such as Acidity Regulators INS 330 and INS 334, are generally considered safe under FSSAI regulations. The product claims 'No Added Preservatives', which likely refers to the absence of artificial preservatives like sorbates or benzoates, though ingredients like salt and sugar act as natural preservatives.

Marketing Claims
The claims '3 Minute Breakfast' and 'NO COOKING' are accurate. 'Transfat Free' is supported by the nutritional panel. However, the 'NO ADDED PRESERVATIVES' claim can be seen as questionable, as the product has a very high salt content which acts as a preservative, potentially misleading consumers seeking a truly low-preservative, healthy option. 'Source of Protein' is technically true but may overstate the benefit as it is not a high-protein food.
