Our take
CleanPlate reviewWhole wheat mini cakes sweetened with jaggery and maltitol
The Health Factory Mini Cakes Berry Blast is a pack of two small cakes made from chakki atta, rice bran oil, jaggery, maltitol and dried cranberries, with prebiotic fibre, milk solids, whey protein and honey. The box is 70 g, two servings of 35 g, and the panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by chakki atta, rice bran oil and jaggery), with additives that cost points: diphosphates, flavouring and maltitol. The 4 for risk comes mainly from calories (476 kcal per 100 g) and saturated fat (5.36 g per 100 g).
