Sugar is the #1 ingredient and it contains partially hydrogenated oil, an industrial trans fat. That alone makes this a hard pass.

Why this verdict

• Partially hydrogenated oil = artificial trans fat, the worst fat for your heart
• Sugar is the first and largest ingredient
• Bleached, refined wheat flour with no real fiber
• Palm kernel oil adds saturated fat on top
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with nothing redeeming

• Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean and/or cottonseed) (harmful) — Industrial trans fat — directly raises bad cholesterol and heart-disease risk.
• Palm Kernel Oil (moderate) — Extremely saturated tropical fat used for the fudge coating's snap.
• Whey (safe) — Milk protein for body.
• Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
