Our take

CleanPlate review

Whole 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).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “ZERO MAIDA”

    Holds

    Chakki atta is the flour; cultured wheat flour appears only at the end of the list.

  • On the pack

    “No Refined Sugar”

    Partly true

    Jaggery and honey replace white sugar, but maltitol and cultured glucose are refined and the panel shows 18.1 g of sugar per 100 g.

  • On the pack

    “No Palm Oil”

    Holds

    The fat in the list is rice bran oil.

  • On the pack

    “No Chemical Preservatives”

    Holds

    No preservative is listed; rosemary extract is an antioxidant.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Chakki atta, rice bran oil, jaggery, maltitol, dried cranberries, fructooligosaccharide, milk solids, whey protein concentrate, honey, corn flour, a leavening agent (INS 500(ii), 450(i)), nature-identical cranberry flavour, oat fibre, orange fibre, rosemary extract, cultured wheat flour and cultured glucose.

Per 100 g: 476 kcal, 27.3 g fat of which 5.36 g saturated, 18.1 g sugar of which 0 g added, 6.47 g fibre, 5.49 g protein, 236 mg sodium. The panel prints Added Sugar 0.00 beside Added Jaggery 9.22 g per 100 g and polyols 9 g; jaggery and honey are counted as free sugar (9.4 g). Energy is 476 kcal against a 485 kcal Atwater sum. Much of the fibre is added prebiotic fibre and earns no credit. No allergen statement is on the photos. These photos are the Berry Blast pack; an earlier label for the Rich Vanilla flavour was replaced. Net 70 g.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Jaggery cake is free of added sugar"

The panel itself prints 9.22 g of added jaggery per 100 g.

Myth: "Zero maida means light"

It still gives 476 kcal per 100 g, mostly from oil and sweeteners.
