Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good. A factory recipe is a treat, not a habit.
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.
What held it up
A quiet ingredient list
No high- or moderate-concern additives. The extras, if any, are pantry-familiar.
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, cocoa, vanilla, soy lecithin.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Milk
No concernA staple for people who digest it. An allergen for people who don’t.
Egg
No concernA common allergen. Also not vegan.
LecithinE322
No concernGenerally fine. Soy lecithin can matter if you are highly soy-allergic.
