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

Sugar load
Don't eat trigger

A single 200ml serving likely contains 20-25g of sugar, which is almost the entire WHO daily limit of 25g and ICMR's <30g limit for added sugars.

Processing tier
Don't eat trigger

NOVA Tier 4 (Ultra-processed). It is a reconstituted juice made from fruit concentrate, water, and likely contains added flavors and stabilizers, not whole fruit.

Fat / oil type

The product is expected to be fat-free, which is standard for fruit juices.

Sodium

Contains negligible sodium, likely less than 10mg per serving.

Marketing deception
Think twice trigger

The 'Real' and '100% fruit juice' branding is misleading. The product is a reconstituted juice with significant added sugar, not fresh juice.

Regulatory history

No specific recalls, bans, or adverse regulatory actions were found for this product. Dabur has complied with FSSAI's updated labeling laws for juices.
