Nutritional Summary
The product scores well due to its use of whole wheat flour (atta) as the primary ingredient, zero trans fat, and low per-serving values of sodium, saturated fat, and added sugar. It also provides dietary fiber. The score is not higher because it remains a processed food containing refined palm oil, added sugar as the second ingredient, and multiple food additives including artificial flavors.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Marie Biscuit and Fruit Parfait
Layer crushed Patanjali Marie biscuits in a bowl. Add a layer of thick Greek yogurt or hung curd. Top with a mix of fresh fruits like berries, banana, and pomegranate seeds. Repeat the layers and chill for 20 minutes before serving.
Health Benefits
Creates a balanced dessert by adding protein from yogurt and essential vitamins and antioxidants from fresh fruits.
Healthy Marie Biscuit Chaat
Place 4-5 Marie biscuits on a plate. Top with a mixture of boiled chickpeas, finely chopped onion, tomato, and boiled potato. Drizzle with mint-coriander chutney and tamarind chutney, and sprinkle with chaat masala.
Health Benefits
This savory twist adds plant-based protein and fiber from chickpeas and vitamins from fresh vegetables.
No-Bake Marie Biscuit Tofu Cheesecake
Crush 8-10 Marie biscuits into a fine powder. Mix with 2 tablespoons of melted ghee or butter to form the base. Press firmly into a tart pan and chill. For the filling, blend silken tofu with a little honey and vanilla until smooth, pour over the base, and refrigerate until set.
Health Benefits
Offers a no-bake, healthier cheesecake alternative using protein-rich tofu for a creamy filling.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including raising agents (INS 500(ii), INS 503(ii)), a dough conditioner (INS 223), and an antioxidant (INS 319), are approved by FSSAI for use within permissible limits. While generally considered safe, INS 223 (a sulphite) can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Overall risk is low for the general population when consumed in moderation.

Marketing Claims
The '100% ATTA' claim is potentially misleading. While the flour used is whole wheat, it only constitutes 64.8% of the product, not 100%. This could lead consumers to believe the biscuit is made entirely of flour. The 'Trans Fat Free' and 'No Artificial Colour' claims are supported by the ingredient list and nutritional facts. The 'Rich in Dietary Fiber' claim is acceptable, though 'rich' is subjective. 'Easy to Digest' is a vague health claim that is difficult to substantiate.
