Farmhouse Biscuits Ltd, Biscuit Selection, Butter — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Farmhouse Biscuits Ltd, Biscuit Selection, Butter by Farmhouse Biscuits Ltd. DUMP — score 20/90.

A 'butter' biscuit that's only 13% butter and leans on palm oil, three different sugars, an emulsifier, and added colors. Refined-flour-plus-sugar-plus-fat junk dressed up as traditional baking.

Why this verdict

• Three separate sugars: white sugar, raw cane sugar, and invert sugar syrup
• Only 13% real butter; bulked out with palm oil and canola vegetable fat
• Polyglycerol ester emulsifier and added colors (annatto, curcumin) = ultra-processed
• Refined wheat flour + sugar + refined oil is the hyper-palatable triad built for overeating
• NOVA group 4 ultra-processed snack

Ingredients (9)

• wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour acts as the chewy binder. Adds quick-digesting carbs and contains gluten.
• Salted butter (13%) (moderate) — Real dairy fat, but only 13% of the product despite the 'butter' branding.
• Sugar (concerning) — Second ingredient and the dominant nutritional driver; added sugar in liquid form spikes blood glucose and adds empty calories.
• Vegetable fat (palm oil, canola oil) (concerning) — Cheap refined oils standing in for butter; palm oil is high in saturated fat.
• Emulsifier: polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (concerning) — Industrial emulsifier that signals a lab-built fat system, not simple baking.
• Rolled Oats (safe) — A genuinely whole grain, though a minor part of the recipe.
• Raw cane sugar (concerning) — A second distinct added sugar; 'raw' doesn't make it healthier.
• invert sugar syrup (concerning) — A third sweetener source; rapidly absorbed liquid sugar that boosts browning and craving.
• Colors: annatto, curcumin (moderate) — Added to fake a rich buttery yellow the low butter content can't produce.
