Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its high content of added sugar (10g per 50g serving), which accounts for 20% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. It is also high in calories and is a highly processed food with a very long list of additives, including multiple preservatives and synthetic colors. While it contains dates and carrots, their nutritional benefits are overshadowed by the high sugar, fat, and refined flour content.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Layered Cake and Yogurt Parfait
Crumble half a serving of the cake into a glass. Add a layer of unsweetened Greek yogurt. Top with a handful of fresh berries and a sprinkle of chia seeds. Repeat the layers once more.
Health Benefits
Balances the cake's sugar with protein from yogurt and fiber from berries and seeds, creating a more filling and nutritious dessert.
Warm Carrot Cake with Nuts
Gently warm a slice of the cake in a microwave for 10 seconds. Serve alongside a scoop of low-sugar vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. Garnish with chopped walnuts or almonds for crunch.
Health Benefits
Pairing a small portion with nuts adds healthy fats and protein, making the indulgent treat more satisfying.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple FSSAI-approved additives. However, the presence of several preservatives and synthetic colors like INS 122 (Carmoisine) may be a concern for individuals with sensitivities or for frequent consumption. The overall risk is considered low to moderate for the general population when consumed occasionally.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Made with tender carrot & dates' is factually supported by the ingredients list (10% dates, 6% carrot). However, this marketing focus can create a 'health halo,' potentially misleading consumers into thinking it's a healthier choice than it is. The product is primarily a high-sugar, high-calorie cake made with refined flour, and the marketing downplays these aspects.
