Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 9 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This chocolate candy contains a significant amount of added sugar and interesterified vegetable fat, contributing to a high saturated fat content. The presence of a generic "Colour" and "Antioxidant" without specific identification raises transparency concerns, especially if they include substances like ammonia caramel (IARC Group 2B possible carcinogen) or BHA (IARC Group 2B possible carcinogen), which are known concerns in similar products. While cocoa solids and milk solids offer some nutritional value, the overall formulation is highly processed and should be consumed in moderation, particularly by children due to the high sugar content.

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 →Interesterified Vegetable Fat
Interesterified fat is made by rearranging fatty acids on the glycerol backbone. It is the modern, trans-FREE replacement for partially hydrogenated oil, so — unlike vanaspati — it does not contribute industrial trans fat. It is, however, high in saturated fat, which raises LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk with regular high consumption, and some metabolic questions about this fat class remain under research. Judge it on its saturated-fat content, not as a trans-fat source.

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.
