Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly primarily due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 20g serving contains 13g of sugar, which is over 25% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance for added sugar. While it uses natural ingredients and is free from artificial additives, the high sugar concentration makes it an energy-dense product with low nutritional value, suitable only for very occasional consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Yogurt and Muesli Parfait
Layer the raspberry strawberry preserve with plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of whole-grain muesli or oats. Repeat the layers in a glass for a visually appealing and balanced breakfast.
Health Benefits
This parfait combines protein from yogurt and fiber from muesli to help balance the sugar and provide sustained energy.
Whole-Wheat Toast with Preserve & Nut Butter
Toast a slice of whole-wheat or multigrain bread. Spread a thin layer of the preserve over the toast. For added nutrition, add a smear of unsalted almond or peanut butter.
Health Benefits
Pairing the preserve with whole-wheat bread and nut butter adds essential fiber, protein, and healthy fats for a more satiating snack.
Additive Analysis
The product uses natural preservatives like sugar and lemon juice and a gelling agent (Pectin - INS 440), which are considered safe under FSSAI guidelines. The label explicitly states no artificial additives or preservatives were used, which is a positive safety attribute.

Marketing Claims
The claims of '60% Berries', 'Gluten Free', '100% Vegan', and 'No Additives' appear to be truthful based on the ingredient list. However, the 'Nut Free' logo on the front is contradicted by the allergen warning on the back stating it's 'Made in a facility that also processes nuts'. This is a significant discrepancy and could be misleading and dangerous for consumers with severe nut allergies.
