Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its high content of sugar (6.57g) and saturated fat (2.17g) in a small 20g serving. Its primary ingredients are refined wheat flour (maida) and sugar. The presence of trans fat (albeit a small amount) and a long list of artificial additives, including flavors and preservatives, significantly lowers its health rating. It is considered a high-calorie, low-nutrient snack.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Fruit Cake & Yogurt Parfait
Crumble one slice of the fruit cake in a glass. Add a layer of unsweetened Greek yogurt. Top with fresh berries and a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture.
Health Benefits
This adds protein, fiber, and vitamins from yogurt and fresh fruit, helping to balance the cake's high sugar content.
Cake with Milk & Nuts
Serve a slice of the fruit cake with a glass of unsweetened almond milk. Add a side of nuts like walnuts or almonds. This creates a more balanced snack.
Health Benefits
Pairing with nuts and almond milk adds healthy fats, protein, and calcium, making it a more satiating treat.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple FSSAI-approved additives, including preservatives, humectants, emulsifiers, and stabilizers. While these are considered safe within regulatory limits, their presence in high numbers indicates a highly processed food item. The use of artificial vanilla flavor further confirms this. Consumers sensitive to additives should be cautious.

Marketing Claims
The claims are factually correct as the product contains 6% fruit cuts and 4% raisins. However, the term 'Fruit Cake' may lead consumers to perceive it as a more wholesome snack than it is, given that its primary ingredients are refined flour and sugar. The marketing is not technically misleading but does not highlight the product's highly processed nature.
