A lab-built candy bar: sugar is the #1 ingredient, refined palm fat and glucose syrup follow, and three emulsifiers plus artificial flavor hold it all together. Built for craving, not nutrition.

Why this verdict

Sugar is the first ingredient, ahead of any cocoa
Hyper-palatable triad: added sugar + refined palm fat + refined rice/glucose-syrup starch
Three stacked emulsifiers (soya lecithin, rapeseed lecithin, PGPR)
Two sweetener sources plus artificial flavor and vanillin
NOVA 4 ultra-processed; ~18g sugar in a 40g bar

Ingredients (16)

Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
Puffed rice (12%) (moderate) — Refined starch with little fiber; digests fast and adds to the glycemic load.
Vegetable oil & fat (palm) (concerning) — Refined palm fat, high in saturated fat. The fat half of the hyper-palatable engineering.
milk powder (moderate) — More dried dairy for the milk-chocolate base. Processed but not harmful.
glucose syrup (concerning) — A second refined sweetener layered on top of the sugar — pure fast carbs.
Cocoa Mass (safe) — Actual cocoa solids — the legitimate chocolate component.
Cocoa Butter (moderate) — Natural cocoa fat; fine in small amounts but adds to a heavy saturated-fat load.
soy flour (moderate) — A filler/binder; common allergen.
Hazelnuts (3%) (safe) — Real nuts but a token 3% despite top billing on the front of pack.
Butter oil (moderate) — Concentrated dairy fat; adds saturated fat.
Glycerin (humectant) (moderate) — Keeps the filling soft; processing aid, not nutrition.
Soya & rapeseed lecithin (moderate) — Two stacked emulsifiers to bind oil and water. A marker of industrial formulation.
PGPR (emulsifier) (concerning) — Polyglycerol polyricinoleate, a synthetic emulsifier used to cut cocoa butter cost. Pure factory chemistry.
Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
VANILLIN (moderate) — Synthetic vanilla flavoring standing in for real vanilla.
Artificial Flavor) (moderate) — Lab-made flavoring with no nutritional value — out of place in a 'finest ingredients' bar.
