Additive Analysis
The product contains several FSSAI-approved additives, including acidity regulators (330, 334, 296), flavour enhancers (627, 631), and anticaking agents (551, 470). While generally considered safe within permissible limits, the presence of flavour enhancers indicates a highly processed product. Consumers sensitive to such additives should exercise caution.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims focus on the taste profile ('Spicy Treat') and brand appeal rather than making any health or nutritional claims. This is an honest representation for a snack food product and is not misleading to the consumer.
