Farmhouse Biscuits Ltd, Biscuit Selection, Butter — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Farmhouse Biscuits Ltd, Biscuit Selection, Butter by Farmhouse Biscuits Ltd. DUMP — score 17/90.
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) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.
- Salted butter (13%) (moderate) — Real dairy fat, but only 13% of the product despite the 'butter' branding.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
- 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) — Whole grain, real fiber and slow carbs - the best thing in here.
- Raw cane sugar (concerning) — The #1 ingredient by weight; spikes blood sugar and drives the calorie load. Organic doesn't change how it hits your body.
- invert sugar syrup (caution) — A second sweetener that boosts softness and shelf life.
- Colors: annatto, curcumin (moderate) — Added to fake a rich buttery yellow the low butter content can't produce.
