What’s actually in it
first on the label · Roasted peanuts, dark chocolate paste, sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oils (rapeseed & palm), full list read.
⚠hydrogenated fatHydrogenated/partially-hydrogenated oils, the closest thing nutrition science has to a unanimous villain.
⚠palm oilCheap saturated fat doing the rounds as 'vegetable fat'. Fine in a biscuit; odd in something sold as health food.
The fine print
Sugar: Plain added sugar, the honest villain. Counted by the gram in the Clean score.
FSSAI: 19 g/100 g · 3.3 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g route.
