Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores in the average range because while it uses natural spices and is free from artificial additives, it has significant drawbacks. The nutritional label is incomplete, omitting values for sugar and sodium, which are the 4th and 5th ingredients, suggesting they are present in high amounts. The per-serving calorie and fat content of the mix itself is low, but the final dish as per instructions would be high in fat and calories. The convenience factor is balanced by these nutritional concerns.

Additive Analysis
The product claims to be free of artificial additives, and the ingredient list supports this. It primarily contains natural spices, onion, garlic, salt, sugar, and thickeners. All listed ingredients are generally considered safe under FSSAI regulations. The primary health concern stems from the unquantified but likely high levels of sodium and sugar, not from harmful additives.
Preservatives
No preservatives added
Artificial Colors
No artificial colors added
Artificial Flavors

Marketing Claims
The claim of having 'No artificial flavours, colours and preservatives' appears accurate based on the ingredients. However, the marketing is questionable due to the lack of transparency in the nutritional information. Failing to disclose sugar and sodium content, despite them being major ingredients, is misleading for consumers trying to make informed health choices. The 'Express Cook' claim is fair for a ready-mix product.
