Weak nutrition · Ultra-processed · per 100 g

Weak nutrition and a factory recipe. Fine as a rare treat — not as a habit.

Worse than 9 in 10 packs in Spreads & oils. The swap is on this aisle.

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 Spreads & oils. The swap is on this aisle.

The pack

Sugar and palm oil lead. Hazelnuts and cocoa follow. Nutella is honest about being a treat if you read the list; the breakfast marketing is the only fiction.

How often

Rarely

Who it’s for

People who want that exact taste and will keep the lid on.

Skip if

You wanted a nut butter. This is not one. Also skip if you avoid palm oil or nuts.

A serving

A tablespoon is already a dessert. Two tablespoons is a pastry without the pastry.

  • Sugar first
  • Palm oil second
  • Hazelnuts, then milk

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 14.1 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

    -8

    High 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
