Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its high content of saturated fat (6.17g per serving, ~28% of RDA) and added sugar (8.24g per serving, ~16.5% of RDA). It is made from refined wheat flour (maida) and palm oil, offering minimal dietary fiber and micronutrients. The extensive list of additives, including a controversial coloring agent (171), further reduces its health rating. It is an energy-dense, nutrient-poor snack.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Balanced Croissant & Fruit Bowl
1. Break the croissant into bite-sized pieces. 2. In a bowl, layer the pieces with plain Greek yogurt. 3. Top with fresh fruits like berries or banana slices. 4. Sprinkle with a few almonds or walnuts for added crunch and healthy fats.
Health Benefits
Pairing the croissant with protein-rich yogurt and fiber from fruits and nuts helps to create a more balanced snack and slows sugar absorption.
Croissant with Protein Boost
1. Lightly warm the croissant in a toaster oven. 2. Serve alongside a glass of unsweetened milk or a plant-based alternative. 3. Add a hard-boiled egg on the side for a protein boost. 4. Enjoy as a more complete, occasional breakfast.
Health Benefits
Adding a source of high-quality protein like an egg and milk makes the meal more satiating and nutritionally rounded.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple additives. Preservatives (282 - Calcium Propionate, 202 - Potassium Sorbate) and other agents like emulsifiers and stabilizers are generally considered safe within FSSAI limits. However, the presence of Colour (171 - Titanium Dioxide) is a concern as its use has been restricted by FSSAI due to potential health risks. The overall additive load is high for a single snack item.

Marketing Claims
The marketing is compliant and not misleading. The product is branded as a 'Treat', which accurately positions it as an indulgent snack rather than a health food. The packaging does not make any unsubstantiated health or nutritional claims. The imagery is a fair representation of the product.
