Summary
This product contains beneficial ingredients like organic hazelnut paste and cocoa powder, which provide healthy fats and antioxidants. However, it is heavily penalized due to the presence of refined sugar and sunflower oil, which are linked to negative health impacts such as inflammation and metabolic issues. The product is also ultra-processed, which further limits its score despite the organic certification of its ingredients.
Key ingredients 8

Hazelnut paste is a source of healthy fats and provides a rich, nutty flavor. It contains vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E and magnesium. The organic nature of the hazelnuts ensures minimal pesticide exposure.
Risks

Cocoa PowderGood
Cocoa powder is rich in antioxidants and provides a deep chocolate flavor. It contains flavonoids that may support heart health. The organic nature ensures minimal exposure to pesticides.
Benefits
Rich in antioxidants that may support heart health and reduce inflammation.
Cocoa ButterGood
Natural traditional fat pressed from cacao.
Risks
High in saturated fats, which may impact heart health if consumed in excess.

Vanilla ExtractGood
Beneficial ingredient — whole-food or functional value in this product class.
Benefits

Skimmed Milk PowderNeutral
Skimmed milk powder provides protein and calcium but lacks the beneficial fats found in whole milk. It is a processed form of milk, which may reduce some nutritional benefits. Organic certification ensures no synthetic hormones or antibiotics.
Risks
Potential allergen for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies.
Benefits
Provides protein and calcium, essential for bone health.
SugarBad
Refined sugar is a high-calorie ingredient with no essential nutrients. It can contribute to weight gain and increase the risk of metabolic diseases. Organic certification does not mitigate its negative health impacts.
Risks
Excessive consumption can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Soy LecithinBad
Refined emulsifier lecithin (doctrine: 'bad', distinct from seed oils).
Risks
Potential allergen for individuals with soy allergies.
Benefits
Helps maintain product consistency and texture.
Sunflower OilVery Bad
Sunflower oil is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation if consumed in excess. It is often highly processed, which can degrade its nutritional quality. Despite being organic, it remains a poor choice compared to healthier fats.
Risks
High omega-6 content may promote inflammation when consumed in excess.
Processing
Ultra-Processed Foods
