Balocco Bambu Extra Cream Wafer Filled With Hazelnut Cream — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Balocco Bambu Extra Cream Wafer Filled With Hazelnut Cream by Balocco ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
A lab-built sweet snack: three different sugars (glucose syrup, sugar, dextrose) stacked on refined flour and coconut oil. The hazelnut you're paying for is barely 8.6% of the whole thing.
Why this verdict
- Three separate sweeteners stacked: glucose syrup, sugar, and dextrose
- Refined wheat flour + coconut oil + sugar = the classic hyper-palatable triad
- Hazelnut is only 8.6% of total; cheap flour and sugar do the heavy lifting
- ~515 kcal and 24g sugar per 100g — calorie-dense, nutritionally thin
- NOVA 4 ultra-processed with added emulsifier (soya lecithin)
Ingredients (12)
- wheat flour (moderate) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.

- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
- HAZELNUTS (safe) — Whole nut, unsaturated fats.
- Whey powder (milk) (safe) — Milk-derived protein used for texture; benign.

- Raisin (safe) — Dried fruit; whole-food but sugar-dense.
