Nutritional Summary

The product scores as 'AVERAGE' due to a conflicting nutritional profile. On the positive side, it is a source of protein and is fortified with Calcium, Vitamin A, D, and B12. However, these benefits are offset by the very high sodium content (326.58 mg, ~16% of RDA) and high saturated fat (3.34 g, ~15% of RDA) in a single 20g serving. It is a highly processed food with multiple additives, suitable for occasional consumption only.

Healthy Recipe Ideas

Whole Wheat Veggie Cheese Sandwich

Toast two slices of whole wheat bread. Layer with fresh cucumber, tomato, and onion slices. Place one Britannia cheese slice on top and grill until the cheese melts. Serve hot.

Health Benefits

Combines protein and calcium from cheese with fiber and vitamins from whole wheat bread and fresh vegetables for a balanced meal.

Cheesy Millet Dosa

Prepare a dosa batter using foxtail millet. Pour the batter on a hot tawa to make a thin dosa. Once one side is cooked, flip it, place a cheese slice in the center, and fold. Cook for another minute until the cheese melts.

Health Benefits

Spinach and Corn Cheese Roll

Health Benefits

A nutrient-dense roll providing iron from spinach, protein from cheese, and sustained energy from the whole wheat chapati.

Additive Analysis

The additives used, including preservatives (Sorbic Acid, Natamycin), colors (Carotenes, Annatto), emulsifiers (Trisodium citrate, Sodium polyphosphates), and an acidity regulator (Citric Acid), are all permitted by FSSAI for use in processed cheese. While generally considered safe within prescribed limits, the product is highly processed, and frequent consumption of foods with multiple additives is not recommended.

Preservatives

Sorbic acid (200)Natamycin (Pimaricin) (235)

Artificial Colors

Beta-carotenes (vegetable) (160a(ii))Annatto extracts, bixin-based (160b(i))

Artificial Flavors

No artificial flavors added

Marketing Claims

The marketing claims are factually supported by the product's formulation and nutritional information. The '5 Essentials' claim is backed by the fortification listed in the nutrition panel. 'Rich & Creamy' is a subjective sensory claim. The product is accurately described as a 'Processed Cheese Spread'. The claims are truthful and not misleading.
