Mayora Malkist Chocolate Flavored Sandwich Cracker Biscuits — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Mayora Malkist Chocolate Flavored Sandwich Cracker Biscuits by Mayora ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
A lab-built snack cracker: refined flour, palm oil, and two sugars stacked with soy lecithin and artificial chocolate flavoring. Designed for craving, not nutrition.
Why this verdict
- Refined wheat flour + palm oil + sugar: the classic hyper-palatable triad built for craving
- Two separate sweeteners (sugar plus glucose syrup) stack the sweetness
- Chocolate is mostly artificial flavoring; real cocoa is only 3.72%
- Soy lecithin emulsifier and added vitamin premix mark it as ultra-processed (NOVA 4)
- 503 kcal per 100g of refined starch, oil, and sugar with almost no real nutrition
Ingredients (13)
- Refined wheat flour (concerning) — Stripped of bran and germ, so it acts like fast sugar with little fiber.
- Palmolein Oil (with antioxidant) (moderate) — Refined palm oil, high in saturated fat; the refined-oil leg of the hyper-palatable triad.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
- glucose syrup (concerning) — A second refined sugar source layered on top of the first.
- Milk Solids (SMP) (safe) — Skimmed milk powder; adds a little protein and creaminess.
- Cocoa Powder (3.72%) (safe) — Real cocoa, but only a token amount — not enough to make this a chocolate food.
- TAPIOCA STARCH (moderate) — Refined starch binder with no nutritional value.
- leavening agents (safe) — Standard raising agents; harmless in these amounts.
- Malt Extract (0.48%) (safe) — Trace amount for flavor and the 'malt' marketing hook.
- BUTTER (safe) — Real dairy fat in a small amount for flavor.
- Emulsifier (soy lecithin) (moderate) — Industrial emulsifier that binds the fat and sugar into a smoother, more moreish texture.
- Vitamin Premix (B1, B2, B6, B12) (safe) — Sprayed-on synthetic B-vitamins so the pack can claim it 'provides energy' — fortification, not real nutrition.
- Artificial Flavouring Substance (Chocolate) (concerning) — Lab-made chocolate flavor doing the heavy lifting the tiny bit of real cocoa can't.
