Name: Caprice Wafer Rolls with Hazelnut & Cocoa Cream
Brand: Papadopoulos

Munch or Dump rates Caprice Wafer Rolls with Hazelnut & Cocoa Cream by Papadopoulos DUMP — score 20/90.

Sugar is the #1 ingredient and a stack of refined oils is #2, wrapped around a refined-flour wafer. The 'hazelnut and cocoa cream' is mostly sugar, palm oil, and ammonia caramel color with only 6% hazelnut and 3.5% cocoa.

Why this verdict

Sugar is the very first ingredient, ahead of everything else
Refined oil stack (palm, palm kernel, shea) is the #2 ingredient
Hyper-palatable triad: added sugar + refined oil + refined starch
Ammonia caramel is an artificial color, plus a soy-lecithin emulsifier
Three sweetener sources (sugar, fructose, sorbitol) engineer the sweetness

Ingredients (17)

Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour stripped of fiber and most nutrients; spikes blood sugar fast.
Vegetable oils (palm, palm kernel, shea) (concerning) — A triple stack of cheap refined tropical fats, high in saturated fat.
Lactose (moderate) — Milk sugar; minor added sweetness.
Hazelnut paste 6% (safe) — The one genuinely nice ingredient, but only 6% despite the front-of-pack billing.
Fat-reduced cocoa powder 3.5% (safe) — Real cocoa, but a tiny 3.5% of the product.
milk proteins (safe) — Small amount of dairy protein.
Stabiliser (sorbitol syrup) (moderate) — A sugar alcohol used to hold texture and add sweetness; can cause GI upset in quantity.
Starch (moderate) — Refined binder, another quick-digesting carbohydrate.
fructose (concerning) — A fourth distinct sugar source; excess fructose stresses the liver.
Skimmed Milk Powder (safe) — Dairy protein and calcium; the real source of the 'milk' marketing
Colour (ammonia caramel) (concerning) — Artificial caramel colour (E150c/d class); cosmetic only, a NOVA 4 marker.
Dietary Fibre (safe) — Added fibre, a minor positive.
Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin) (moderate) — Binds the sugar-fat coating together; a marker of processed confectionery.
Antioxidants (ascorbyl palmitate, tocopherol extracts) (safe) — Keep the oils from going rancid; safe.
Flavourings (moderate) — Non-specific flavour additives; vague labelling despite a 'no artificial flavours' claim.
