Additive Analysis
The additives used, including raising agents (INS 503(ii), INS 500(ii)), dough conditioner (INS 223 - Sodium Metabisulphite), and antioxidant (INS 319 - TBHQ), are approved by FSSAI. However, INS 223 is a sulphite, which can be an allergen for sensitive individuals. The overall risk is considered low for the general population.

Marketing Claims
The '100% ATTA' claim could be misleading. While the flour used is 100% whole wheat atta (no refined flour), the product itself is only 64.8% atta, with the rest being sugar, oil, and other ingredients. The 'Rich in Dietary Fiber' and 'TRANS FAT FREE' claims are supported by the nutritional information. The marketing presents a processed biscuit as an unequivocally healthy choice, which is an overstatement.
