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

Sugar load
Don't eat trigger

The pack label lists 26. 80 g sugar per 100g, which meets the v1 red threshold (≥10g/100g).

Processing tier
Don't eat trigger

The product is classified as NOVA 4 due to the presence of multiple industrial additives and ingredients such as refined flours, invert sugar, emulsifiers (soy lecithin), leavening agents, acidity regulators, and artificial flavors. These ingredients are characteristic of ultra-processed foods.

Fat profile

The pack label says saturated fat is 1. 56 g per 100g and trans fat is **0.

00 g per 100g**, meeting the v1 green fat thresholds.

Sodium
Think twice trigger

The pack label lists 492. 00 mg sodium per 100g, which falls in the v1 sodium watch range (300–625mg/100g).

Marketing deception
Don't eat trigger

The product is marketed with claims and imagery that imply health benefits such as 'Goodness of Milk' and 'Calcium'. These claims are misleading given the product's high sugar, saturated fat, and ultra-processed nature, particularly when targeted at children.

Claims observed on Swiggy Instamart product page.

Regulatory history

No significant FSSAI notices, court cases, or ASCI complaints were found regarding this product or brand in India.
