India faces a pressing challenge in child nutrition. According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), 35.5% of children under five suffer from stunting, while 19.3% experience wasting-a critical indicator of acute malnutrition. Despite economic progress, 32.1% of children remain underweight, and 67.1% suffer from iron deficiency anemia, primarily due to poor diet, inadequate maternal health, and limited healthcare access.

While parents navigate these concerns, the market is inundated with products making bold yet misleading health claims. Many ready-to-eat options appear nutritious but often contain excessive calories, preservatives, and artificial ingredients-further exacerbating the crisis.
