Nutritional Summary
The product scores well for being fortified with Vitamins A & D and having zero sugar, sodium, and trans fat per serving. It provides a good balance of MUFA and PUFA. However, the score is moderated due to the significant saturated fat content (10% of daily RDA per serving) and the presence of artificial antioxidants and anti-foaming agents. It is a suitable oil for daily cooking but should be used in moderation.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Rich in Omega 3 and Oryzanol' and 'Fortified with Vitamins A & D' are substantiated by the ingredient list and nutritional panel. However, the primary claim 'LOSORB for less oil absorption' is based on internal studies from 2018, which are not publicly available for verification. While not strictly false, this makes the claim's magnitude and conditions unverifiable for the consumer, placing it in a questionable category.
