Tenero Alle Mandorle Limoncello Cookies — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Tenero Alle Mandorle Limoncello Cookies by Dolciaria Stocco ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

Three stacked sweeteners — sugar, glucose syrup and honey — sit on top of refined corn and potato starch. It's a candy engineered for sweetness with almonds along for the ride.

Why this verdict

• Three distinct sweeteners stacked: sugar (#1), glucose syrup, and honey
• Sugar outranks the almonds — sweetness is the main event
• Refined corn starch and potato starch add processed filler
• Generic 'flavourings' fake the limoncello with no real lemon
• NOVA-4 ultra-processed confection

Ingredients (8)

• Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
• Almonds (30%) (safe) — Genuine whole-food note bringing healthy fats, protein and fiber — the one real redeeming part.
• glucose syrup (concerning) — A second refined sweetener layered on top of the sugar — pure fast carbs.
• honey (moderate) — Added sugar, but a small amount low on the list; the only sweetener here.
• egg white (safe) — Binds the macaroon; a clean protein source.
• Wafers (potato starch, water, vegetable oil) (moderate) — The edible backing sheet — refined starch plus unspecified vegetable oil.
• Corn Starch (moderate) — Pure refined starch for texture; empty carbohydrate.
• Flavourings (moderate) — A vague 'natural flavour' catch-all - not concerning health-wise, but undefined, which is the only thing keeping this from a fully clean list.
