Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its high sugar content. A single 240ml serving contains 11.3g of sugar, which is a substantial portion of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance for added sugar. While it is fortified with various vitamins and minerals, which is a positive aspect, the high sugar level and the presence of multiple additives, including palm oil and carrageenan, detract significantly from its health profile. It is more suitable as an occasional treat rather than a regular health or energy drink.

Additive Analysis
The product contains several FSSAI-approved additives, including stabilisers (INS407, INS401, INS471) and emulsifiers (INS322). While these are generally recognized as safe within prescribed limits, INS407 (Carrageenan) has been a subject of scientific debate regarding potential inflammatory effects, though it remains approved. The use of multiple additives makes this a highly processed beverage.

Marketing Claims
The primary claim 'Energy to go far' is questionable. While the product provides 131 kcal of energy per serving, a large part of this comes from 11.3g of sugar, which offers a quick energy spike rather than sustained energy. This can be misleading for consumers seeking a healthy energy source for athletic activities, as implied by the packaging's graphics. The claim is not entirely false due to the presence of malt and fortifying vitamins, but it omits the significant downside of the high sugar content.
