§01 — Six-Axis Assessment

Red = warning
01/06Sugar loadRed

27g per 100g equals 67. 5g per 250ml serving, vastly exceeding WHO daily free sugar recommendation of 25g. Single serving provides 270 percent of daily limit.

02/06Processing tierRed

Ultra-processed product: formulated with added sugars, shelf-stable through industrial preservation, packaged in laminated pouches. Represents significant departure from traditional minimal-processing preparation methods.

03/06Fat / oil typeWatch

7g total fat per 100g with 6g saturated (85. 7 percent from saturated sources). Palm oil not identified in available ingredient sources, but saturated fat proportion remains problematic for a beverage category.

04/06SodiumWatch

0. 198g per 100g equivalent to 1980mg per liter. A 250ml serving contains approximately 495mg sodium, representing 24. 75 percent of WHO daily sodium limit of 2000mg in single consumption occasion.

05/06Marketing deceptionRed

Marketing claims include antiviral, antibacterial, fever-relief, liver health, and heart health benefits without clinical substantiation. Product composition high in sugar and saturated fat directly contradicts wellness positioning.

06/06Regulatory historyClear

No documented FSSAI enforcement actions, recalls, or court cases identified in available sources. Product operates within Indian food safety compliance but lacks proactive regulatory scrutiny.
