Nutritional Summary
The product receives the lowest rating primarily due to its alarmingly high sodium content. A single 6g serving provides 863.3mg of sodium, which constitutes 43.2% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. Such a high concentration in a small serving of seasoning makes it very easy to exceed daily sodium limits, posing a significant risk for hypertension and cardiovascular issues. The presence of added sugar and nature-identical flavors further detracts from its health profile.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Lightly Spiced Vegetable Stir-Fry
Sauté 2 cups of mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, beans) in 1 tsp of oil. Once cooked, turn off the heat and sprinkle just HALF a sachet (3g) of the Magic Masala. Toss well and serve immediately.
Health Benefits
A vitamin-rich side dish where using half the sachet adds flavor while significantly cutting down on sodium intake.
Low-Sodium Masala Oats
Prepare savory oats with 1/2 cup of rolled oats and 1 cup of water. Add chopped onions and tomatoes. Instead of salt, add 1/4 of a sachet of Magic Masala during the last minute of cooking. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Health Benefits
This high-fiber breakfast aids satiety and digestion, with a minimal amount of masala used for flavor.
Spiced Buttermilk (Masala Chaas)
Blend one cup of low-fat yogurt with two cups of chilled water. Add a pinch (about 1/4 sachet) of Magic Masala and a handful of fresh mint leaves. Blend until smooth and serve chilled.
Health Benefits
A refreshing probiotic drink that aids digestion, using a tiny amount of the product for a savory kick.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Anticaking Agent (INS 551), Acidity Regulator (INS 330), and Natural Colours (INS 160c, INS 150d), are permitted by FSSAI and generally considered safe in specified quantities. The use of 'Nature Identical' flavors means the product is not entirely from natural sources. The most significant health risk is not from the additives but from the extremely high sodium content.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims focus on taste enhancement and convenience, which are subjective and not factually incorrect. However, the branding 'Magic Masala' and 'Today's Special' encourages frequent use, which is concerning given the product's extremely high sodium content. The failure to disclose this significant health risk on the front of the pack, which features fresh-looking food, is ethically questionable as it omits critical information for consumers to make a healthy choice.
