§01 — Six-Axis Assessment

Red = warning
01/06Sugar loadRed

Added sugars constitute 9. 74-9. 95g per 100ml (23-24g per 240ml serving), representing 92-96% of WHO's 25g daily free sugar recommendation. Natural fruit sugars contribute only 1. 24-1. 68g per 100ml, with remainder being added sugar from manufacturing.

02/06Processing tierWatch

Ultra-processed (NOVA 4): contains added sugars, stabilizers (INS 440, 466), acidity regulator (INS 296), polydextrose dietary fiber, and antioxidants despite marketing as simple fruit juice with zero concentrate.

03/06Fat / oil typeClear

Contains 0g fat per 100ml with no palm oil, hydrogenated fats, trans fats, or other problematic lipids. Ingredient list shows no oil-based additives or concerning fat sources.

04/06SodiumClear

Sodium not reported in nutritional information across available product variants, indicating negligible or below-reportable threshold levels. Well within WHO <2000mg/day guideline for healthy populations.

05/06Marketing deceptionWatch

Marketed as '100% fruit pulp, 0% concentrate, no added preservatives'—technically accurate but materially misleading. Claims emphasize 'natural' while formulation contains multiple synthetic additives (stabilizers, acidity regulators, nature-identical flavoring substances). Marketing obscures that 85. 5% of total sugars are added sugars.

06/06Regulatory historyClear

No documented FSSAI enforcement notices, recalls, contamination incidents, or regulatory violations found for this product. Manufactured by ITC Ltd. , an established FMCG conglomerate with institutional quality infrastructure and demonstrated compliance framework.
