Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 5 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This chocolate candy is primarily composed of sugar and refined flours, contributing to a high sugar load. The product also contains non-hydrogenated palm oil, which is high in saturated fat and has environmental implications. While hazelnut paste is listed, it's in trace amounts, so any nutritional benefit is negligible.

Why the score is capped
Very high added sugar
Rule F-CAP-01
Contains ammonia caramel colour (E150c/d) — which can generate 4-MEI during manufacture — IARC classifies 4-MEI as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans); this label does not state its concentration
Rule F-CAP-10 · Source: IARC / EFSA classification of the additive
Highly processed (NOVA) and high in sugar
Rule F-CAP-07
Flavouring not disclosed — the label does not say which substance this is
Rule F-CAP-13
Watch out for
Very high added sugar content, contributing to overall caloric intake.
Highly processed food (NOVA-4 classification) due to multiple refined ingredients and additives.
Contains gluten from Wheat Flour, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Hazelnut Paste is present in trace amounts (1%), so any meaningful nutritional benefit from this ingredient is unlikely.
Colour — if it includes ammonia caramel (E150c/d), its 4-MEI by-product is classified by IARC as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen.

Palm Oil
Palm oil is very high in saturated fatty acids (~50%), which raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption. Refined palm oil can also carry processing contaminants (glycidyl esters and 3-MCPD esters), which EFSA assessed in 2016.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO; Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; EFSA CONTAM opinion (2016)
Palm Oil: regulation, sources and other products →Wheat Flour
Wheat and wheat-derived ingredients contain gluten, which triggers an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease, causing intestinal damage. People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or wheat allergy must also avoid this ingredient. Labelled as a major allergen by FSSAI.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI Food Labelling Regulations; Celiac Disease Foundation
Wheat Flour: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Non Hydrogenated Palm Oil is high in saturated fat, which is a cardiovascular concern. EFSA CONTAM opinion (2016) also highlights potential contaminants (glycidyl esters) from refining.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The term 'Luxury' is subjective and cannot be objectively verified from the provided label information.
Hazelnut paste is listed in the ingredients, supporting the 'Hazelnut' aspect of the claim. The 'Creme Style' refers to the product's form, which is consistent with wafers containing a cream filling.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
