Nutella & Go! Hazelnut Spread + Breadsticks (12 Pack) — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Nutella & Go! Hazelnut Spread + Breadsticks (12 Pack) by Nutella Ferrero ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

Sugar and palm oil are the top two ingredients, ahead of hazelnuts and cocoa. Pair that spread with refined-flour breadsticks and you get the classic added-sugar + refined-oil + refined-starch craving triad, finished with an emulsifier and artificial vanillin.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #1 ingredient and palm oil #2 — ahead of hazelnuts and cocoa
• Hyper-palatable triad: added sugar + refined palm oil + refined wheat flour
• Vanillin is a flat-out artificial flavor
• Lecithin emulsifier plus refined oils = ultra-processed (NOVA 4)
• 23g sugar and ~270 calories per small cup

Ingredients (12)

• Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
• Palm Oil (moderate) — Refined oil high in saturated fat, used in both the spread and the breadsticks for cheap richness.
• HAZELNUTS (safe) — A genuine whole-food source of healthy fats — but a minority ingredient here, behind sugar and oil.
• Cocoa (safe) — Real cocoa adds flavor and some polyphenols, but it's far down the list.
• Skim Milk (safe) — Adds a little protein and calcium; a minor component.
• Whey (Milk) (safe) — Milk protein byproduct used for texture; benign in this amount.
• Lecithin (Soy) (moderate) — Emulsifier that keeps the fat and sugar smooth — a hallmark of ultra-processed formulation.
• Vanillin (artificial flavor) (moderate) — Synthetic vanilla flavor — directly undercuts the brand's 'no artificial' positioning.
• Wheat flour (breadsticks) (moderate) — Refined flour with little fiber; the starchy half of the sugar-oil-starch triad.
• Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
• Malt Extract (moderate) — Adds more sugars and browning to the breadsticks.
• Bakers Yeast (safe) — Standard leavening agent; harmless.
