Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sodium content (972 mg per serving, nearly 50% of the daily recommended intake) and high saturated fat (5.4 g per serving, about 25% of daily intake). The primary ingredient is refined wheat flour (Maida), which offers minimal dietary fiber. The presence of multiple food additives, including flavor enhancers like MSG (E621), further reduces its health score.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Loaded Wai Wai Delight
1. Sauté 1 cup of chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, peas) in 1 tsp of oil. 2. Add 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then add the noodles and seasoning. 3. Cook for 3-4 minutes until noodles are soft. 4. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
Health Benefits
Adds essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber from fresh vegetables to an otherwise processed meal.
Protein-Packed Wai Wai Egg Drop Soup
1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add the noodles with only half the seasoning packet to reduce sodium. 2. While noodles cook, whisk one egg in a bowl. 3. Slowly pour the whisked egg into the boiling soup while stirring gently to create egg ribbons. 4. Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve immediately.
Health Benefits
Boosts the protein content with the addition of an egg, making it a more satiating meal while cutting sodium intake.
Additive Analysis
The additives used are generally permitted by FSSAI within specified limits. However, the product contains a high load of additives, including flavor enhancers like MSG (E621), which can cause sensitivity in some individuals. The overall level of processing is high.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Goodness of Wheat' is questionable. While the product is made from wheat, it uses refined wheat flour (Maida), which lacks the fiber and nutrients of whole wheat. This can mislead consumers into believing the product is healthier than it is, especially given its high sodium and saturated fat content.
