Nutritional Summary

The use of hydrogenated vegetable fats and artificial flavors further reduces its nutritional quality, making it an indulgence item to be consumed sparingly.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, such as Emulsifier (Soya lecithin), Raising agent (500(ii)), and Flour treatment agent (516), are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption within prescribed limits. The presence of artificial and nature-identical flavors indicates a highly processed product.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims focus on the taste, texture, and experience of the product (e.g., 'rich', 'crispy', 'delicious break'), which accurately describe it as a confectionery item. The claims do not make any misleading health or nutritional assertions, which is ethical and appropriate for a high-sugar, high-fat snack.
