The challenge

Health-conscious consumers asking "healthy Indian savory snacks made without palm oil, palm olein or added maltodextrin" were served mass-market fried snacks with misleading "healthy" labels.

What the audit found

Every engagement starts with a baseline across a fixed set of buyer prompts.

  • The use of real cold-pressed groundnut oil, zero palm oil processing and vacuum-cooking temperatures (below 120°C) were only shown in front-of-pack images.
  • Quick commerce listings used incomplete descriptions.
