Healthy Recipe Ideas
Coconut Cookie & Fruit Parfait
In a glass, create alternating layers of thick Greek yogurt, crushed McVitie's Coconut Cookies, and mixed fresh fruits like berries or mango. Garnish the top layer with a whole cookie and a mint leaf. Serve chilled.
Health Benefits
This parfait balances the cookie's carbohydrates with protein from yogurt and vitamins from fresh fruit.
No-Bake Coconut Cookie Pie Crust
Crush 8-10 coconut cookies into a fine crumb. Mix with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a pie tin to create a crust and chill for 30 minutes before adding a light, no-bake cheesecake filling.
Health Benefits
Using the cookies as a base for a homemade dessert allows you to control the sugar and fat content of the filling.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including raising agents (INS 503(ii), 500(ii), 450(i)), emulsifiers (INS 322, 472e), and a dough conditioner/preservative (INS 223), are generally permitted by FSSAI. However, INS 223 is a sulphite, which can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The presence of artificial flavours indicates a highly processed product.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are straightforward and do not mislead the consumer. The product is described as 'Tasties Coconut Cookies' in a 'Family Pack', which are accurate descriptions of the product's taste profile and size, rather than unsubstantiated health claims.
