Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sodium content, with a single serving providing 44.8% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. It is also high in saturated fat (29.9% of RDA per serving) and is made from refined wheat flour (Maida), offering low nutritional value. The presence of multiple flavour enhancers, including MSG, further detracts from its health profile.

Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple flavour enhancers, including Monosodium Glutamate (MSG - INS 621), which can cause adverse reactions in sensitive individuals and is not recommended for infants. The use of artificial chicken flavouring, a permitted natural color (Caramel 150d), acidity regulators, and thickeners is within FSSAI limits for this food category, but frequent consumption of such processed foods with multiple additives is generally discouraged for optimal health.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are factually accurate. The product is pre-cooked and can be eaten instantly, it contains three separate seasoning sachets, and it is chicken-flavoured using artificial substances. The claims do not mislead the consumer about the nature of the product.
