Weak nutrition · Ultra-processed · per 100 ml
A weak nutrition box and an ultra-processed recipe. A treat in a bottle, not a weekday pour.
Worse than 10 in 10 packs in Snacks. The swap is on this aisle.
A 28 g handful is about 153 calories and 0.5 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 10 in 10 packs in Snacks. The swap is on this aisle.

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
No meaningful sugar. Salt is high. 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.
Monosodium glutamate
-5Flavour enhancer. Safe for most; a subset reports sensitivity.
Natural flavouring
-5Undisclosed mixture. Usually low toxicological risk, poor transparency.
Disodium inosinate
-5Flavour enhancer stacked with MSG.
Disodium guanylate
-5Flavour enhancer stacked with MSG.
Factory flavour system
-12MSG stacked with inosinate or guanylate is a lab flavour, not a kitchen one. It is how a chip tastes like cheese without much cheese.
A long list of extras
-84 additives sit on this pack. One extra is a recipe. Four is a factory pattern.
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

Citric acidE330

Lactic acidE270
No concernThe sour in yogurt, made in tanks. Fine.
Paprika extractE160c
