Product Insights
Red Cake Glaze (Tortenguss, rot) is a 12.5 g packet of bright red coating sold by Dr. Oetker for decorating breads, pastries and other desserts. It provides 78 kcal per 100 g, with 6 g fat and 6 g carbohydrates while containing virtually no added sugar, but it is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and includes the animal‑derived colourant E120, making it unsuitable for vegans. The product adds vivid color and a glossy finish to baked goods, yet its high processing level and non‑vegan additive may be drawbacks for health‑conscious and ethical consumers.
