Dark Fantasy Bourbon Biscuit — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Dark Fantasy Bourbon Biscuit by Sunfeast BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
Sold as 'made with real chocolate,' but real chocolate is 0.01% of the pack and cocoa just 1.8% — it's mostly refined flour, 35% sugar, and palm oil dyed brown with artificial colors.
Why this verdict
- 'Made with real chocolate' but real chocolate is only 0.01% of the pack
- 35% sugar — the second ingredient, right after refined flour
- Four artificial colors (including Allura Red 129) fake the chocolate look
- Three stacked emulsifiers plus refined palm oil — ultra-processed (NOVA 4)
- Refined maida + sugar + palm oil is the hyper-palatable triad, built for craving
Ingredients (11)
- Maida (Refined Wheat Flour) (concerning) — Refined flour stripped of bran and germ; digests fast and spikes blood sugar with little fiber.
- Sugar (35%) (harmful) — Second ingredient at over a third of the product; drives the sugar spike and empty calories.
- Refined palm oil (concerning) — Highly refined oil used for frying; adds saturated fat and calorie density with no nutritional upside.
- Colours (150a, 150c, 150d caramel; 129 Allura Red) (concerning) — Artificial colors that fake a chocolate/cocoa appearance; Allura Red is a synthetic azo dye.
- Starch (moderate) — Refined binder, another quick-digesting carbohydrate.
- Cocoa solids (1.8%) (safe) — The only real cocoa here, and it's a token amount despite the chocolate branding.
- Raising agents (503, 500, 450) (safe) — Standard leavening salts; safe in food amounts.
- Artificial & nature-identical flavouring (vanilla, chocolate) (moderate) — Lab-made flavors standing in for the near-absent real chocolate.
- Emulsifiers (mono & diglycerides, soy lecithin, polysorbate 60) (concerning) — A three-emulsifier stack; polysorbate 60 in particular is a marker of ultra-processing.
- Iodized Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; iodization is a minor benefit.
- Plain chocolate (0.01%) (safe) — The 'real chocolate' the pack advertises — a trace 0.01%, essentially a garnish.
