Refined flour, three sugar sources and palm oil stacked into a hyper-palatable cookie built for craving, not nutrition.

Why this verdict

NOVA 4 ultra-processed with a soy lecithin emulsifier

Ingredients (14)

Enriched wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour with synthetic vitamins added back; spikes blood sugar.
Milk chocolate (20%) (moderate) — Mostly sugar and cocoa butter; some cocoa, but a sugar delivery vehicle more than a health food.
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.
Macadamia nuts (5%) (safe) — Real whole nut with healthy fats, but only a small fraction of the cookie.
BUTTER (moderate) — Real dairy fat, under 2%; flavor not a health upgrade.
Brown sugar (sugar, invert sugar, molasses) (concerning) — A second and third distinct sweetener source; same metabolic hit as plain sugar.
eggs (safe) — Whole-food binder and protein source.
desiccated coconut (moderate) — Real coconut adds fiber and the bar's namesake flavor, but it's high in saturated fat.
Raising agents (sodium bicarbonate, potassium tartrate, ammonium carbonate) (safe) — Standard baking leaveners; harmless in these amounts.
Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
flavorings (moderate) — Unspecified added flavors; vague and not a whole-food ingredient.
Soy lecithin (in chocolate) (moderate) — Emulsifier that signals industrial processing; generally safe but a NOVA 4 marker.
Ground tree nuts (pecan, macadamia, walnut, cashew, almond) (safe) — Real ground nuts; a genuine ingredient adding flavor and healthy fats.
