Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its primary ingredient being refined wheat flour (Maida) and its high sugar content. A single 18.8g serving contains 4.81g of sugar. The advertised 'Oats & Berries' are present in minimal quantities (5% and 1.1% respectively), which is insufficient to provide significant health benefits. While it is free from trans-fat and low in sodium, the high proportion of refined carbohydrates and added sugar makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Yogurt & Biscuit Parfait
Crush 2-3 biscuits into coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over a bowl of Greek yogurt or regular dahi. Top with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey for a quick, balanced snack.
Health Benefits
This combines the biscuit's crunch with protein from yogurt and vitamins from fresh fruit for a more nutritious treat.
No-Bake Biscuit Paneer Tart
Finely crush 4 biscuits and mix with 1-2 teaspoons of melted ghee. Press this mixture into the base of a small katori or ramekin. Top with a mixture of paneer, powdered sugar/jaggery, and a hint of cardamom. Chill for an hour before serving.
Health Benefits
Creates a portion-controlled dessert base, pairing it with protein-rich paneer for a more satisfying sweet.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including raising agents (INS 503(ii), INS 500(ii)) and an emulsifier (INS 472e), are permitted by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption within regulated limits. The presence of artificial flavors, while permitted, detracts from the product's naturalness.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claim 'Oats & berries Biscuits' is potentially misleading. While technically true, the low percentage of oats (5%) and cranberries (1.1%) compared to refined wheat flour (64.5%) overstates the health-oriented nature of the product. The packaging imagery and name could lead consumers to believe it is a healthier, oat-based biscuit, which is not accurate given its primary ingredients are refined flour and sugar.
