Hanuta Minis — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Hanuta Minis by Ferrero DUMP — score 20/90.

Sugar is the very first ingredient, ahead of palm and shea fat, in a NOVA-4 wafer where hazelnuts are just 13%. It's an engineered dessert dressed up as a snack.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of fat and flour
• Refined palm and shea fats are the second ingredient
• 42.6g sugar and 31.9g fat per 100g
• Hazelnuts are only 13%; the rest is sugar, fat, refined flour
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with stacked emulsifiers and added dextrose

Ingredients (16)

• Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
• Vegetable fats (palm, shea) (concerning) — Refined tropical fats high in saturated fat; the second-largest ingredient.
• Hazelnuts (13%) (safe) — Genuine nuts bring healthy fats and a little protein, but at only 13% they're a minor part of the jar.
• Wheat flour (12.5%) (moderate) — Refined flour adds quick-digesting starch with little fiber.
• Sweet whey powder (moderate) — Dried dairy by-product, mostly milk sugar (lactose) used to bulk and sweeten cheaply.
• Low-fat cocoa (safe) — Defatted cocoa powder for color and flavor; harmless in this amount.
• Milk chocolate (moderate) — Sugar-and-fat base; indulgent but recognizable.
• Skimmed Milk Powder (safe) — Standard dairy ingredient for milk chocolate; benign.
• Clarified butterfat (moderate) — Pure dairy fat, high in saturated fat.
• flavorings (moderate) — Unspecified added flavors; vague and not a whole-food ingredient.
• Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
• Semi Sweet Chocolate (moderate) — More sugar, cocoa mass and soy lecithin.
• Emulsifier (soy lecithin) (moderate) — A processed emulsifier; common but marks this as a manufactured product, not a simple baked good.
• Dextrose (grape sugar) (concerning) — A second added sugar source, signaling engineered sweetness.
• raising agent: sodium bicarbonate (safe) — Baking soda leavening agent, harmless in this use.
• VANILLIN (moderate) — Synthetic vanilla flavoring standing in for real vanilla.
