Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its primary ingredients being refined wheat flour (maida) and sugar, offering minimal dietary fiber and essential nutrients. A realistic serving of 4-5 biscuits contributes significantly to daily sugar and refined carbohydrate intake without providing substantial health benefits. The use of palm oil and artificial flavors further reduces its nutritional value. It is best considered an occasional treat rather than a healthy snack.

Additive Analysis
The additives used, including raising agents (503(ii), 500(ii)), an emulsifier (472e), and a flour treatment agent (1101(ii)), are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption within prescribed limits. The presence of artificial vanilla flavor is noted, which is common in such products but detracts from a 'natural' profile.

Marketing Claims
The term 'GOLD' implies a premium or superior quality, which is a subjective marketing claim. The packaging imagery prominently features wheat and a splash of milk, which could mislead consumers into perceiving the product as more wholesome than it is, given that the primary ingredients are refined flour and sugar, with milk solids only at 1%. While not strictly non-compliant, it borders on overstating the health attributes.
