Nutritional Summary

The product receives a poor rating due to its high content of refined carbohydrates (Maida) and added sugar per serving. It is primarily composed of refined wheat flour and sugar, offering minimal dietary fiber, vitamins, or minerals. The use of refined palm oil contributes to the saturated fat content. While it contains zero trans fat, its overall nutritional profile is unbalanced, making it suitable only for occasional consumption as a high-energy snack.

Healthy Recipe Ideas

Biscuit and Fruit Yogurt Parfait

1. Crush 4 Parle-G Gold biscuits. 2. In a glass, create a layer of the crushed biscuits. 3. Top with a layer of thick, unsweetened yogurt (curd). 4. Add a layer of chopped fresh fruits like banana, apple, or berries. 5. Repeat the layers and garnish with a few chopped almonds.

Health Benefits

This parfait balances the biscuits' simple carbs with protein from yogurt, and fiber and vitamins from fresh fruit.

No-Bake Banana Peanut Butter Pie

1. Crush 5-6 Parle-G Gold biscuits to a coarse powder to use as a base. 2. Mix the biscuit powder with a teaspoon of melted butter and press it into a small bowl. 3. In a separate bowl, mash a ripe banana and mix with a tablespoon of peanut butter. 4. Spread the banana-peanut butter mixture over the biscuit base. 5. Chill for 20 minutes before serving.

Health Benefits

Adds potassium from bananas and healthy fats and protein from peanut butter for a more satiating no-bake pie.

Additive Analysis

The additives used, including Raising Agents (INS 503(ii), INS 500(ii)), Flour Treatment Agent (INS 1101(ii)), and Emulsifier (INS 472e), are approved by FSSAI and considered safe for consumption within regulated limits. The product's health impact is more related to its base ingredients (refined flour, sugar) than these additives.

Marketing Claims

The marketing claims are compliant with regulations and not misleading. 'Glucose Biscuits' accurately describes the product as a source of quick energy from sugars. The 'Gold' branding is a subjective marketing term to denote a different quality or recipe from the standard version and does not make a specific health or nutritional claim. The packaging avoids making unsubstantiated health promises.
