Council note
Ultra-processed — flavours, extras, a list a kitchen would not write. A dietitian would not make this a weekday habit. Worse than 9 in 10 packs in Dairy. The swap is on this aisle.

What pulled it down
This nutrition box cannot be rated Excellent
This is a treat pattern. It can only scrape into low Good if the list is clean and it is not ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good
A factory recipe — flavours, colours, or many additives — cannot be rated Good. A sometimes treat, not a daily habit.
A weak-ish nutrition box
About 4.3 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. A treat pattern.
Ultra-processed
Built in a factory with additives, flavours, or refined extras. A growing pile of research ties a diet of these to poorer health — not because one biscuit is poison, but because the pattern crowds out real food.
Palm oil
-8High in saturated fat. Process contaminants (3-MCPD, glycidyl esters) in refined oils.
Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids
-5May contain residual processing contaminants. Nutritional quality is low.
Nutrition is half the number. Ingredients a quarter. How processed a fifth. Organic is a small bonus — it cannot rescue a sugary drink or a nitrite ham. How this compares to Nutri-Score

Better neighbours
Same aisle, cleaner number. Ranked by how close the job is — not by who paid.
Ingredients
Water, hydrogenated vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skim milk, light cream, emulsifiers.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Palm oil
−8High in saturated fat. The other cost is landscape. A daily chocolate spread is both stories at once.
Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acidsE471
−5Not a high-concern extra. A sign the recipe needed help staying together.
Water
No concernNo concern. The best everyday pour.
Guar gumE412
No concernUsually fine. A lot of gum in one sitting can bloat.
