Why Paper Boat Swing Jeera Masala Soda scores EB4

Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 46 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
There is no protein, no fibre and no declared vitamins or minerals, and no protein source could be identified in the ingredients. All 46 kcal per 100 ml come from sugar, so nothing offsets the energy and the grade sits at the bottom.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.
Good, few concerning additives
- Base
- Carbonated Water
- Sweeteners
- Sugar
- Additives
- 3
- Flagged
- Caramel Colour (Class IV), Sodium Benzoate
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and easy to read: carbonated water, sugar, salt, an acidity regulator (citric acid, 330), an antioxidant (ascorbic acid, 300), caramel colour, flavouring, a preservative and cumin powder. Citric acid and ascorbic acid cost nothing.
Three items cost ingredient points: sulphite ammonia caramel colour (150d), the nature-identical flavouring, and sodium benzoate (211), which is used here with ascorbic acid. No hydrogenated fat is listed, and the pack makes no claim that the list contradicts.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 11.5 g
- Sodium
- 285 mg
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar drives the risk grade: 11.5 g per 100 ml, all of it added, so 23 g in one 200 ml serve. Sodium adds to it at 285 mg per 100 ml, or 570 mg per serve.
Saturated fat and trans fat are zero, and the energy itself adds little beyond the sugar. The grade is a 4 because sugar and sodium both show up in a drink people tend to finish.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High added sugar (11.5g per 100ml)
- −Red flag: Contains Caramel Colour (Class IV)
- −Red flag: Contains Sodium Benzoate
Green flags
Nothing stands out in its favour.
Does Paper Boat Swing Jeera Masala Soda live up to its claims?
The no-caffeine and carbonated water statements hold. The jeera in the name is real but small, since cumin powder is the last ingredient and no percentage is declared.
- Product namePartly true
“Jeera”
Cumin powder is listed, but it is the last ingredient and no percentage is declared. The flavour also comes from nature-identical flavouring.
- On the packHolds
“Carbonated Water”
Carbonated water is the first ingredient, as the front of the pack says. Sugar follows at 11.5 g per 100 ml.
- On the packHolds
“Non-alcoholic beverage. No caffeine.”
No caffeine source is on the ingredient list, and nothing alcoholic is listed.
What's in Paper Boat Swing Jeera Masala Soda?
Carbonated water, sugar and salt lead the list. Watch the sugar and sodium first, then the caramel colour, the flavouring and the preservative.
9 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 2 low concern. 2 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Carbonated water leads, then sugar and iodised salt, so the drink is a sweet, salty fizz. The acidity regulator (citric acid, 330) gives the tang, the antioxidant (ascorbic acid, 300) protects the flavour, and caramel colour (150d) gives the brown shade. Nature-identical flavouring, a preservative (sodium benzoate, 211) and cumin powder finish the list, with no percentages declared.
What the additives do
Caramel Colour (Class IV) (low concern): dark brown colour. Sulphite ammonia caramel, the brown colour in colas and sauces. It can contain 4-MEI, a by-product IARC lists as possibly carcinogenic. More on Caramel Colour (Class IV).
Sodium Benzoate (low concern): preservative for acidic foods. A preservative for acidic foods and drinks. With vitamin C it can form small amounts of benzene under heat and light. More on Sodium Benzoate.
Not in our additive research yet: Acidity Regulator (330); Antioxidant (300).
Ingredients to watch
- Added sugarConcern
11.5 g per 100 ml, 23 g in a 200 ml serve and 69 g in the full bottle. It is the largest driver of the risk grade.
- SodiumWorth watching
285 mg per 100 ml, 570 mg per 200 ml serve and 1,710 mg in the bottle, from the iodised salt that gives the masala taste.
- Caramel colour (150d), sodium benzoate (211) and flavouringWorth watching
Each costs ingredient points. The sulphite ammonia caramel colour costs the most, and the benzoate is paired with ascorbic acid in a drink.
- No caffeineFine
The pack states no caffeine, and no caffeine source is listed.
What it doesn’t have
- No protein, fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so the drink gives energy only.
- No percentage is given for the cumin powder.
