What pulled it down
A weak nutrition box cannot be rated Good
Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate this box. Poor at best — a treat, not a habit.
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.
Two red lights on the box cannot be rated Good
Two red lights on salt, sugar or saturated fat keep this at Poor, not Good.
A weak nutrition box
About 11.8 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. Fat is high. Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate.
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.
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

Ingredients
Milk chocolate, peanuts, corn syrup, sugar, palm oil, skim milk, lactose, salt, egg whites.
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.
Peanut
No concernA serious allergen. A two-ingredient peanut butter is a keep for everyone else.
Milk
No concernA staple for people who digest it. An allergen for people who don’t.
Cocoa
No concernA keep. Fat content varies; the bar’s sugar is the usual snag.
LecithinE322
No concernGenerally fine. Soy lecithin can matter if you are highly soy-allergic.
