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.
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-ish nutrition box
About 6 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.
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

Ingredients
Cream, skim milk, sugar, cherries, chocolate chunks, egg yolks, guar gum, locust bean gum, carrageenan.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acidsE471
−5Not a high-concern extra. A sign the recipe needed help staying together.
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.
Locust bean gumE410
No concernThickener from carob seeds.
Guar gumE412
No concernUsually fine. A lot of gum in one sitting can bloat.
