Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product's primary ingredient is whole wheat flour (atta), which is positive. However, a single 70g serving contains an extremely high amount of sodium (987 mg), which constitutes nearly 50% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. The fat and saturated fat content are also moderately high. The presence of multiple flavour enhancers reduces its overall health score, making it a poor choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Loaded Atta Noodles
1. Sauté 1 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, peas) in 1 tsp of oil. 2. Prepare the Patanjali noodles as per package, but use only half of the provided seasoning packet. 3. Combine the cooked noodles with the sautéed vegetables. 4. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
Health Benefits
Increases the fiber and vitamin content of the meal while reducing the sodium intake by 50%.
Protein-Boosted Noodle Soup
1. Boil the noodle cake in 2 cups of water or vegetable broth. 2. Add half the seasoning packet, 50g of cubed paneer or tofu, and a handful of spinach. 3. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the paneer is soft and spinach has wilted. 4. Serve immediately as a nourishing soup.
Health Benefits
Creates a balanced, protein-rich soup with added greens for a more wholesome meal.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including thickeners (INS 412, INS 415), acidity regulators, and antioxidants (INS 319), are generally permitted by FSSAI. However, the combination of multiple flavour enhancers (INS 627, INS 631, INS 635) can be a concern for sensitive individuals. The primary health risk comes from the excessive sodium content, not the additives themselves.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'atta noodles' is accurate as whole wheat flour is the main ingredient. However, the slogans 'befikar khao' (eat without worry) and 'Snack time made healthy!' are questionable and potentially misleading. The product's extremely high sodium content and moderate fat levels contradict the notion of a 'healthy' or 'worry-free' food item, especially for consumers with dietary restrictions or health concerns like hypertension.
