Why this verdict
- 30+ ingredients, NOVA 4 ultra-processed
- Three artificial colors: Tartrazine, Carmoisine, Brilliant Blue
- Sugar in almost every component plus liquid glucose and maltodextrin

- Stacked emulsifiers and four-plus stabilizers, modified starch, artificial flavors
Ingredients (16)
- Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
- Palm Oil (moderate) — Refined oil added for mouthfeel; high in saturated fat with no whole-food benefit.
- Soybean Oil (moderate) — Refined high-omega-6 seed oil used to fake creaminess
- Maltodextrin (concerning) — Ultra-processed filler with a very high glycemic index; a hallmark of NOVA 4 food.
- Modified starch (E1442) (moderate) — Industrially modified thickener used to fake a creamy texture.
- Liquid glucose (moderate) — A second refined sweetener (glucose syrup) used for texture and cost - stacks sugar load.
- Emulsifier E322 (lecithin) (moderate) — One of two emulsifiers; relatively benign alone but part of a stacked additive load.
- Emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides) (moderate) — Industrial emulsifier used to hold the fat-water mix together.
- Stabilizers (E412, E417, E407, E410) (moderate) — A four-gum stack engineered for mouthfeel; emulsifier/stabilizer overload signals heavy processing.
- Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) (moderate) — Stripped white flour - spikes blood sugar and undercuts the whole-grain claim.
- Cocoa solids / cocoa butter (safe) — Real cocoa is present, but in small amounts behind sugar and oils.
- Artificial vanillin / nature-identical flavoring (moderate) — Synthetic flavors stand in for real vanilla and chocolate.
- Food colors E102 (Tartrazine), E122 (Carmoisine), E133 (Brilliant Blue) (concerning) — Three synthetic dyes with no nutritional purpose; some linked to hyperactivity concerns in children.
- Caramel color (E150d) (moderate) — Sulphite-ammonia caramel coloring; purely cosmetic, some variants carry 4-MEI concerns.
- Almond (salted praline) (safe) — A tiny 1.4% real-nut inclusion.
- Condensed milk / milk solids (moderate) — Adds dairy and more sugar to the confectionery layer.
