The issue is frequency: the red flags make this a poor default, even if rare use carries lower practical concern.

This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.

Sugar load

The pack label lists 3. 8 g sugar per 100g, which is below the v1 watch threshold (<5g/100g).

Processing tier
■ Awaiting verification

Ingredient list is not available from Indian e-commerce platforms or the brand's official Indian site to determine the processing tier.

Fat profile
■ Don't eat trigger

The pack label says saturated fat is 14. 5 g per 100g and trans fat is **0.

1 g per 100g**, crossing the v1 red fat threshold.

Sodium
■ Don't eat trigger

The pack label lists 849. 2 mg sodium per 100g, which meets the v1 red sodium threshold (≥625mg/100g).

Marketing deception
■ Awaiting verification

No specific marketing claims or packaging imagery for the Indian market could be identified from primary sources.

Regulatory history
■ Awaiting verification

The product's FSSAI license and regulatory compliance status in India could not be verified due to the absence of the product on major Indian retail platforms and the brand's official Indian website.
