Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its extremely high added sugar content. A single 250ml serving contains 25g of sugar, which constitutes 50% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance for an adult. While fortified with vitamins and electrolytes, these benefits are overshadowed by the excessive sugar, making it more of a sugar-sweetened beverage than a healthy fruit drink. The actual fruit juice content is minimal.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Guava Mint Spritzer
In a blender, combine 100ml of O'cean Guava drink, a handful of fresh mint leaves, the juice of half a lime, and 150ml of plain soda or sparkling water. Pour over ice. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve immediately.
Health Benefits
This cooler dilutes the drink's high sugar content while adding the digestive benefits of mint and extra vitamin C from lime.
Quick Guava & Chia Lassi
Mix 1 part O'cean Guava drink with 2 parts plain yogurt or dahi. Add a tablespoon of chia seeds and let it sit for 10 minutes. Blend until smooth for a quick and easy lassi.
Health Benefits
Creates a probiotic-rich drink with added protein and fiber, balancing the sugar and making it a more satiating beverage.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including acidity regulators (E330, E296, E331), minerals (E329, E508), and a Class II preservative (E202), are all permitted by FSSAI and generally considered safe within regulatory limits. The primary health concern of this product is not its additives but its very high sugar content.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are technically factual but create a misleading 'health halo'. By emphasizing 'Vitamins' and 'Electrolytes', the marketing distracts consumers from the fact that the product is a high-sugar beverage with very low fruit content (from 1.8% concentrate). Calling it a 'fruit beverage' is questionable as its primary components are water and sugar.
