Lindt Lindor Assorted Chocolate Truffles — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Lindt Lindor Assorted Chocolate Truffles by Lindt LINDOR TREAT — score 45/90.
Premium indulgence candy: sugar is the #1 ingredient and refined vegetable oils come second, so it's sugar-and-fat by design. Simple confectionery list, but the artificial flavors keep it from being clean.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of any cocoa
- Refined vegetable oils (coconut, palm kernel) are #2 for that melt-in-mouth fat
- Contains artificial flavors alongside natural ones
- Soy lecithin emulsifiers smooth the texture
- Calorie-dense indulgence: roughly 220 cal and 16g sugar per 3 truffles
Ingredients (9)
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- Vegetable Oil (Coconut, Palm Kernel) (concerning) — Refined tropical oils added for melt-in-mouth creaminess; high in saturated fat, no nutrition.
- Cocoa Butter (moderate) — Natural cocoa fat; fine in small amounts but adds to a heavy saturated-fat load.
- Milk / Skim Milk / Milkfat (safe) — Dairy components providing creaminess and some protein and calcium, though minor here.
- Chocolate (safe) — Cocoa solids bring antioxidants (flavanols); the upside of dark chocolate.
- Caramel Paste (sugar, cocoa butter, cream, salt, soy lecithin) (moderate) — Adds yet more sugar plus an emulsifier. Tasty but compounds the sugar load.
- SOY LECITHIN EMULSIFIER (safe) — Common, well-tolerated emulsifier used in tiny amounts to smooth texture.
- BARLEY MALT POWDER (moderate) — Adds sweetness and color; minor, but contains gluten.
- Natural and Artificial Flavors (moderate) — Undisclosed lab-made flavor blend; the 'artificial' half is pure synthetic chemistry with no food value.
