Lotus Biscoff The Original Caramelised Biscuit Spread — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Lotus Biscoff The Original Caramelised Biscuit Spread by Lotus ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

Crushed cookies turned into a spread: sugar and refined oils dominate, hitting the hyper-palatable triad of added sugar, refined oil, and refined flour.

Why this verdict

• Sugar appears twice in the list and lands at 36g per 100g
• Hyper-palatable triad: added sugar + refined oils + refined wheat flour
• 39g fat per 100g, mostly from palm and rapeseed oil
• Soy lecithin emulsifier engineers the spreadable texture
• Nearly zero fiber or protein; pure calorie density

Ingredients (10)

• wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour stripped of fiber and most nutrients; spikes blood sugar fast.
• Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
• Palm Oil (moderate) — High in saturated fat; deep-frying medium that pushes fat and calories up.
• rapeseed oil (moderate) — Refined oil added to the dough.
• soy flour (safe) — Minor ingredient; adds a little protein and structure.
• Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
• cinnamon (safe) — Real spice, negligible amount, harmless.
• Sodium carbonates (E500) (safe) — Raising agent used to bake the original biscuit; harmless.
• Lecithins (E322) (moderate) — Soy-derived emulsifier that keeps the fat and starch smoothly spreadable; a marker of processing.
• Citric acid (E330) (safe) — Common acidity regulator, no real concern.
