Healthy Recipe Ideas
Tang Orange Popsicles
Mix 2 tbsp of Tang powder in 200ml of cold water as per instructions. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until solid. Demold and serve immediately.
Health Benefits
This creates a refreshing, portion-controlled treat with added Vitamin C, which is a healthier alternative to many store-bought ice pops.
Whole Fruit Tang Slushie
In a blender, combine 1 tbsp of Tang powder, 1 cup of ice, half a cup of water, and one whole peeled orange. Blend until a smooth, slushy consistency is achieved. Serve immediately in a chilled glass.
Health Benefits
This recipe reduces the sugar concentration per serving while adding natural fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants from the real orange.
Tang Yogurt Swirl
Take one cup of plain, unsweetened yogurt (dahi) in a bowl. Sprinkle just one teaspoon of Tang powder over the yogurt. Swirl it in gently for a tangy orange flavor without mixing completely. Garnish with a mint leaf.
Health Benefits
This method provides a protein and probiotic-rich snack, using Tang sparingly as a flavouring agent rather than a sugary drink base.
Additive Analysis
The product contains artificial colors Tartrazine (102) and Sunset Yellow (110). While permitted by FSSAI, these colors can cause intolerance reactions in sensitive individuals and have been linked to hyperactivity in children. The use of artificial sweetener Sucralose (955) and other additives are within FSSAI limits but make the product highly processed.
Preservatives
No preservatives added
Artificial Colors
Artificial Flavors

Marketing Claims
The claim 'No need to add sugar' is misleading as the product's primary ingredient is sugar. It implies a healthier choice, while the product is pre-loaded with a very high amount of sugar. Marketing featuring children for a high-sugar beverage is ethically questionable. The 'No Artificial Flavors' claim appears accurate based on the ingredient list.
