Low nutrition · Ultra-processed · per 100 g
Ultra-processed — built with extras a kitchen wouldn’t use. Better as a rare treat, not a Good rating.
Middle of Snacks. 34 of 62 on our shelves score higher.
A 28 g handful is about 140 calories and 0.5 g of salt — before you finish the bag.
Council note
Ultra-processed — flavours, extras, a list a kitchen would not write. A dietitian would not make this a weekday habit. Middle of Snacks. 34 of 62 on our shelves score higher.

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 2 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. Salt is high. Fat is high. 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.
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
Unbleached flour, soybean oil, sugar, partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, salt, leavening, high fructose corn syrup.
Palm oil
−8High in saturated fat. The other cost is landscape. A daily chocolate spread is both stories at once.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Wheat flour
No concernContains gluten. Otherwise a staple.
Salt
No concernThe nutrition box already scores it. A pinch in cooking is not a packet of noodles.
Sodium carbonatesE500
No concernNo toxicological concern. It’s the cupboard jar.
