Weak nutrition · Ultra-processed · per 100 g
Weak nutrition and a factory recipe. Fine as a rare treat — not as a habit.
Worse than 8 in 10 packs in Snacks. The swap is on this aisle.
A 28 g handful is about 140 calories and 0.2 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. Worse than 8 in 10 packs in Snacks. The swap is on this aisle.
The pack
Wheat, palm oil, and sugar wrap a smear of the same chocolate-hazelnut filling. Two biscuits are a dessert. The 20-pack is a sitting if you let it be.

Who it’s for
People who wanted that exact Ferrero taste in a biscuit, on purpose.
Skip if
Wheat, milk, or hazelnut allergy — or you wanted a weekday snack.

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 8.9 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. Salt is moderate. Fat is high. Some fibre helps. 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.
Diphosphates
-5Phosphate salts. High dietary phosphate is a kidney-load concern.
Natural flavouring
-5Undisclosed mixture. Usually low toxicological risk, poor transparency.
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
Wheat flour, palm oil, sugar, hazelnuts, skimmed milk powder, fat-reduced cocoa, whey powder, butter, sunflower oil, salt, raising agents (ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, disodium diphosphate), soy lecithin, vanillin.
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.
DiphosphatesE450
−5A marker of factory food more than a poison. The company they keep is the issue.
Natural flavouring
−5Not a toxin. A sign the recipe needed a perfume. You cannot tell what is inside from the words.
Wheat flour
No concernContains gluten. Otherwise a staple.
Hazelnuts
No concernA tree nut. Delicious if you can eat them, serious if you can’t.
Cocoa
No concernA keep. Fat content varies; the bar’s sugar is the usual snag.
Milk
No concernA staple for people who digest it. An allergen for people who don’t.
Sunflower oil
No concernA reasonable everyday oil. Not as interesting as olive, calmer than palm.
Salt
No concernThe nutrition box already scores it. A pinch in cooking is not a packet of noodles.
Ammonium carbonatesE503
No concernFine in baked goods. You won’t taste the chemistry class.
Sodium carbonatesE500
No concernNo toxicological concern. It’s the cupboard jar.
LecithinE322
No concernGenerally fine. Soy lecithin can matter if you are highly soy-allergic.
Vanilla
No concernLow concern. Real pod vs vanillin is a taste argument.
