The sodium content is also moderately high for the small serving size. While the 'Zero Fat' claim is accurate, the high sugar level makes it an unhealthy choice for regular or liberal consumption.

Marketing Claims
The 'ZERO FAT' claim is technically accurate but creates a misleading 'health halo'. It prominently highlights the absence of fat while distracting from the fact that the product's primary ingredients are liquid glucose and sugar, making it very high in sugar. This can mislead consumers into perceiving the product as healthier than it is. The 'No added colours or artificial flavours' claim appears to be truthful based on the ingredient list.
