Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product receives a very poor rating due to its alarmingly high sodium content. A single 4.5g serving contains 735.93 mg of sodium, which is over 36% of the FSSAI's recommended daily intake for an adult. This makes the product extremely unhealthy, particularly for regular consumption or for individuals with hypertension. While low in fat and sugar, the excessive sodium level is a major health concern.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Healthy Veggie Pasta with a Pinch of Masala
Sauté 1 cup of chopped mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli) in 1 tsp olive oil. Add 75g of boiled whole wheat pasta. Use only a quarter of the masala sachet (about 1-2g) to control sodium, mix well, and serve hot.
Health Benefits
Boosts fiber and vitamin intake with vegetables and whole wheat pasta while drastically reducing the sodium load.
Masala Chickpea & Paneer Stir-fry
Sauté onions, tomatoes, and other vegetables in a pan. Add 1/2 cup of soaked chickpeas or paneer cubes. Stir in a very small amount (1/4 sachet) of the pasta masala with a little water to form a gravy and simmer for 5 minutes.
Health Benefits
Creates a protein-rich side dish where the masala is used sparingly for flavor rather than as the main ingredient.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Flavour Enhancer (INS 635), Anticaking Agent (INS 551), and Acidity Regulator (INS 330), are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption. The primary health risk is not from the additives but from the extremely high sodium content.

Marketing Claims
The marketing encourages adding fresh vegetables, which is positive. However, it fails to disclose the extremely high sodium content on the front of the pack, which is misleading by omission. Promoting a product with such a high sodium level to families with children ('Kids will love it!') without a clear warning is ethically questionable.
