Nutritional Summary
The product receives a very poor rating due to its extremely high sodium content (1154 mg per serving, over 58% of the FSSAI recommended daily allowance) and high saturated fat (6 g per serving, 29% of RDA). It is made from refined wheat flour (Maida) and contains multiple food additives, including flavour enhancers (MSG). While low in sugar, the excessive sodium and saturated fat levels make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Loaded Wai Wai Stir-Fry
1. Prepare the noodles with hot water but use only half of the included seasoning packet. 2. In a separate pan, stir-fry 1 cup of chopped vegetables (like carrots, bell peppers, beans, and cabbage) in minimal oil. 3. Drain the noodles and add them to the stir-fried vegetables. 4. Toss well and serve immediately.
Health Benefits
Enhances the meal with fiber and vitamins from fresh vegetables while significantly cutting down the high sodium intake.
Protein-Boosted Wai Wai Noodle Soup
1. Prepare the noodle soup using only half the seasoning. 2. Add a source of protein like shredded boiled chicken, a boiled egg, or a handful of tofu cubes. 3. Add leafy greens like spinach or bok choy and some mushrooms to the hot soup. 4. Let it sit for a minute until the greens are wilted and serve hot.
Health Benefits
Creates a more balanced and satiating meal by adding essential protein and micronutrients from greens.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple FSSAI-approved additives, including flavour enhancers (MSG - INS 621, 627, 631), acidity regulators, and artificial colours. While individually permitted, the high overall additive load and presence of MSG (which requires a warning for infants) suggest it is a highly processed food item. The risk is considered moderate for sensitive individuals and for regular consumption.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are factual and accurately describe the product as a convenient, pre-cooked, and fried noodle snack. The slogan 'Noodles ka All Rounder' is subjective and does not make any misleading health or nutritional assertions. The packaging is transparent about containing added MSG.
