Nutella & Go! — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Nutella & Go! by Nutella DUMP — score 20/90.
Sugar is the #1 ingredient and palm oil the #2, with only 13% hazelnuts. It's a hyper-palatable triad of sugar, refined oil, and refined-flour breadsticks engineered for craving.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of everything else
- Palm oil is #2 — a saturated fat that raises LDL cholesterol
- Hazelnuts only 13%, cocoa only 7.4% — mostly sweetened fat
- Hyper-palatable triad: added sugar + refined oil + refined-flour breadsticks
- Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) snack built for craving, not nutrition
Ingredients (10)
- Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
- Palm Oil (concerning) — Refined oil, second-largest ingredient. High in saturated fat and paired with sugar to make the spread hyper-palatable.
- Hazelnuts (13%) (safe) — Real nuts with healthy fats, but only 13% of the product despite being the headline ingredient.
- Fat-reduced cocoa (7.4%) (safe) — Real cocoa provides flavor and some antioxidants, but present in small amount.
- Skimmed Milk Powder (safe) — Adds protein and calcium; a real dairy ingredient.
- Whey powder (milk) (safe) — Milk-derived protein used for texture; benign.
- Emulsifier: lecithin (soya) (moderate) — A common emulsifier that keeps the spread smooth; a marker of processing but low concern.
- VANILLIN (moderate) — Synthetic vanilla flavoring used to boost palatability. Not a health hazard, but it is an artificial flavor.
- Wheat flour (breadsticks) (moderate) — Refined flour with little fiber; digests fast and adds to the blood-sugar load.
- Malt Extract (moderate) — Third sweetener source, mostly maltose.
