FOOD LABELS

Fortified with added vitamins and minerals, but still a fatty snack — roughly a quarter of it by weight is fat, and a 50g pack alone provides a quarter of the label's stated daily nutritional requirement.

Maize Grit, Vegetable Oil, Nature Identical Cheese Flavour, Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron, Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, C

A short, simple ingredient list — just corn, oil, and onion flavouring — but a genuinely fatty snack: over a quarter of it by weight is fat.

Maize Grits, Vegetable Oil, Nature Identical Onion Flavour

More sugar by weight than an equivalent-sized Mars Bar isn't quite true here — Snickers actually runs slightly lower on sugar thanks to the peanuts, but makes up for it with more saturated fat.

Milk chocolate (35%) with soft nougat (14%) and caramel centre (28%) with peanuts (22%). Ingredients: Sugar, Peanuts, Glucose Syrup, Milk Powder, Cocoa Mass, Skimmed Milk Permeate (Milk), Palm Fat, Salt, Whey Powder, Cocoa Butter, Sunflower Oil, Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin – INS 322), Milk Fat, Egg White Powder. May contain hazelnuts. Milk chocolate contains milk solids 14% minimum.

The sugar shell is coloured with a mix of natural and nature-identical colourants rather than the synthetic azo dyes flagged elsewhere in this dataset — including carmine, an insect-derived red colour worth knowing about for vegetarians/vegans.

Milk chocolate (48%) covered peanuts (24%) in a sugar shell. Ingredients: Sugar, Peanuts, Cocoa Mass, Vegetable Oil (Palm Fat, Shea Fat), Glucose Syrup, Skimmed Milk Powder, Full Cream Milk Powder, Whey Permeate (Milk), Milk Fat, Thickener (Dextrin – INS 1400), Glazing Agent (Carnauba Wax – INS 903), Stabiliser (Gum Arabic – INS 414), Colourants (Calcium Carbonate, Carmine, Brilliant Blue FCF – INS 133, Curcumin, Carotenes, Beta-apo-8'-carotenal – INS 160a/160e).

A whole bar already carries more saturated fat than the ice cream in this set, and cashews make up just 12% of the bar.

Sugar, Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Cashew Nut (12%), Emulsifiers (Soya Lecithin (INS 322), Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (INS 476)), Salt, Natural Vanilla Flavour. May Contain Traces of other Nuts.

Double the caffeine of a Red Bull or Ride can, on top of a full day's added-sugar limit for a young child in a single 473ml can — and guarana extract layered on top means there's caffeine beyond what the caffeine line alone suggests.

Carbonated Water, Sugar, Glucose, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, Taurine, Sodium Citrate, Color Added, Panax Ginseng Extract, L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, Caffeine, Sorbic Acid (Preservative), Benzoic Acid (Preservative), Niacinamide (Vit. B3), Sucralose, Salt, D-Glucuronolactone, Inositol, Guarana Extract, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vit. B6), Riboflavin (Vit. B2), Maltodextrin, Cyanocobalamin (Vit. B12).

Sugar looks similar to a soda, but the real story is saturated fat — one serving alone is nearly half a young child's daily limit.

Dairy Cream, Sugar, Milk Solids, Egg Yolk Powder, Vanilla Seeds (0.1%), Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids (INS 471), Guar Gum (INS 412), Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (INS 466), Locust Bean Gum (INS 410), Carrageenan (INS 407), Natural Vanilla Extract (0.06%) and Artificial Vanilla Flavour

A dense, mix-in-heavy ice cream — cookie crumbs alone make up almost 14% of it — coloured with four synthetic dyes rather than natural colourants.

Fresh Milk (71%), Sugar, Brownie Crumbs (7.5%), Salted Caramel Sauce (5.6%), White Fat, Milk Solids, Edible Cookie Dough Crumbs (4.7%), Caramelized Cashew (3.8%), Cookie Crumbs (13.8%), Cocoa Powder (3%), Permitted Stabilizers (Mono and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids (INS 471), Guar Gum (INS 412), Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (INS 466), Carrageenan (INS 407)), Permitted Colours (Ponceau 4R (INS 124), Tartrazine (INS 102), Brilliant Blue FCF (INS 133), Sunset Yellow (INS 110))

Over 60% of this bar by weight is sugar — the highest sugar content of any chocolate bar in this dataset — split between the nougat, caramel, and coating.

Milk chocolate (40%) with soft nougat (33%) and caramel centre (27%). Milk chocolate coating (40%): Sugar, Milk Solids, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Solids, Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin – INS 322). Edible Vegetable Fat <5% (Palm Oil). Edible Vegetable Oil (Sunflower Oil), Milk Solids, Cocoa Solids, Barley Malt Extract. Centre Filling (60%): Liquid Glucose, Sugar, Milk Solids, Salt, Egg White Powder, Edible Vegetable Fat (Palm Oil). Contains cocoa butter equivalent in addition to milk chocolate.

Made from dehydrated potato rather than sliced whole potato, giving it its distinctive uniform shape — coloured naturally with annatto rather than a synthetic dye.

Dehydrated Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Wheat Flour, Corn Flour, Rice Flour, Maltodextrin, Emulsifier (E471), Salt, Colour (Annatto Norbixin). May contain milk, soy.

Real coffee and 10g of protein set it apart from typical energy drinks, but it still carries a full can of added sugar on top of a hefty B-vitamin megadose (up to 260% DV).

Brewed Starbucks Coffee (Water, Coffee), Reduced-Fat Milk, Skim Milk, Sugar, Maltodextrin, Dextrose, Taurine, Natural Flavors, Cellulose Gel, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Inositol, Sodium Ascorbate, Guarana (Paullinia Cupana) Seed Extract, Cellulose Gum, Niacinamide, Sucralose, Tricalcium Phosphate, Carrageenan, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Riboflavin, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D3.

Nearly all of the sugar here (22 of 23g) is added rather than from the milk/cocoa itself, and the pack is manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts even though peanuts aren't an ingredient.

Sugar; Wheat Flour; Cocoa Butter; Chocolate; Vegetable Oil [Palm Oil; Palm Kernel Oil]; Lactose (Milk); Skim Milk; Milk Fat; Contains 2% or less of: Lecithin (Soy); PGPR; Vanillin, Artificial Flavor; Salt; Yeast; Baking Soda

A short, simple ingredient list — just peanuts, palm oil, salt and chilli — but a genuinely fatty snack, at roughly half its weight in fat.

Peanuts, Palm Oil, Salt and Chilli.

Coloured with two synthetic yellow dyes (the same ones flagged elsewhere in this set as tartrazine and sunset yellow, just under their US FD&C names) rather than a natural lemon colour.

Wheat Flour, Sugar, Vegetable Fat (Palm Oil), Glucose, Corn Starch, Sugar Syrup, Milk Powder, Ammonium Bicarbonate (Leavening Agent), Sodium Bicarbonate (Leavening Agent), Disodium Diphosphate (Leavening Agent), Salt, Artificial Lemon Flavour, Soya Lecithin (Emulsifier), Citric Acid, Permitted Colours (FD&C Yellow No. 5, FD&C Yellow No. 6).

Fortified with a full spread of vitamins and minerals, but over a third of the carbs in a mixed serving are sugar, split between malt-derived and added sucrose.

Malt Extract (34%) (contains Barley), Sugar, Milk Solids (21%), Cocoa Powder (9%), Palm Oil, Minerals (Dicalcium Phosphate, Ferric Pyrophosphate), Vitamins (C, D3, B2, B3, B6, B12), Disodium Phosphate (INS 339ii), Sodium Carbonate (INS 500i)

Sodium is the standout here — a single 28g serving already carries over 15% of an adult's daily sodium limit, and the can holds more than three servings.

Dehydrated Potato Flakes, Vegetable Oil (Palm Olein), Hot and Spicy Flavoured Seasoning [Sugar, Salt, Spices (Pepper Powder, Paprika Powder, Chili Powder 0.24%, Capsicum Extract), Vegetable Powders (Onion, Tomato, Garlic), Dextrose, Tricalcium Phosphate (INS 341(iii)), Yeast Extract, Torula Yeast, Citric Acid (INS 330), Paprika Extract (INS 160c), Silicon Dioxide (INS 551), Artificial Hot & Spicy Flavour, Smoked Maltodextrin], Tapioca Starch, Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids (INS 471), Soy Lecithin (INS 322). Contains: Soy. May Contain Traces of: Milk.

Most of the sugar here is added rather than naturally from the milk, and it's coloured with two synthetic dyes (carmoisine and tartrazine) that carry an EU hyperactivity warning label.

Cows' Milk, Sugar, Mono and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids (INS 471), Carrageenan (INS 407), Guar Gum (INS 412), Natural Vanilla Flavour, Colour Carmosine (INS 122) & Tartrazine (INS 102)

A biscuit-and-orange-flavoured chocolate bar — the fat figure matches the front-of-pack callout exactly, but the front-pack Sugar digit was partly obscured by a package fold, so the back-panel calculation is the more reliable figure here.

Sugar, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Biscuits (18%), Milk Powder (8%), Cocoa Powder, Emulsifiers [Soya Lecithin (322), Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (476)], Iodized Salt and Nature Identical (Vanilla and Orange) Flavours.

Fortified full cream milk powder with a broad vitamin and mineral spread — the sugar and fat here are entirely what's naturally in milk, not added.

Only the Sinhala ingredients line was captured, reading approximately "Full cream milk powder with Vitamin A" — likely just Full Cream Milk Powder and Vitamin A, but worth a follow-up photo of the English ingredients panel to confirm the exact wording and whether other fortificants are listed there.

Naturally sweetened in part with monk fruit alongside added sugar — a lower-sugar take on chocolate milk than most, at just over half the sugar of Kotmale's chocolate milk per 100ml.

Whole Milk (50%), Milk Solids, Sugar, Malt Extract (3%) (contains Barley), Cocoa Powder (1%), Gellan Gum (INS 418), Monk Fruit Juice Concentrate, Guar Gum (INS 412), Dicalcium Phosphate (INS 341ii), Sodium Carbonate (INS 500i), Magnesium Carbonate (INS 504i), Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, D, E, Disodium Phosphate (INS 339ii), Soya Lecithin (INS 322), Natural Vanilla Flavour, Ferric Pyrophosphate

A fairly fatty biscuit — nearly a fifth of it by weight is fat, and most of that is saturated, coming from the desiccated coconut and palm olein.

Wheat Flour, Sugar, Desiccated Coconut (16%), Palm Olein, Corn Flour, Whey Powder, Iodized Salt, Raising Agents (Sodium Bicarbonate – INS 500ii, Ammonium Bicarbonate – INS 503iii), Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin – INS 322)

A plainer, lower-sugar biscuit than the Lemon Puff or Gold Marie in this set, with no artificial colours declared.

Contains: Wheat, Milk, Soy. Recipe: No Nuts (nut-free), may contain traces of sulphites.

A fortified malt drink in the same family as Milo — similar carb-heavy, sugar-moderate profile, with its own spread of B-vitamins plus calcium and iron.

Malt Extract (Contains Barley), Milk Solids, Palm Oil, Calcium Carbonate, Soya Lecithin, Iodized Salt, Sodium Bicarbonate, Vitamins, Magnesium Phosphate, Colour Caramel (INS 150a), Ferric Pyrophosphate

One can alone carries more sugar than a young child's whole daily limit, on top of an adult-strength dose of caffeine.

Nearly half of this bar by weight is sugar, with puffed rice as the only mix-in — a simpler formulation than Revello's fruit-and-nut variants.

Sugar, Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Puffed Rice, Emulsifiers [Soya Lecithin (322), Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (476)], Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour and Salt.

Almost all of the fat in this bar is saturated (27.7 of 29.2g/100g) — the highest saturated-to-total-fat ratio of any chocolate in this dataset — and it's made with hydrogenated palm kernel oil and cocoa powder rather than cocoa butter and cocoa mass.

Sugar, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Milk Powder (14%), Cocoa Powder, Whey Powder, Emulsifiers [Soya Lecithin (322), Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (476)], Iodized Salt and Nature Identical (Vanilla & Chocolate) Flavours.

Genuinely sugar-free — sweetened entirely with maltitol instead — but still calorie-dense and high in fat, and the label itself warns that maltitol can cause a laxative effect in some people.

Permitted Sweetener [Maltitol (INS 965)], Cocoa Mass (34%), Cocoa Butter (13%), Hazelnut Paste, Emulsifiers [Soya Lecithin (INS 322), Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (INS 476)] and Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour. May contain traces of other nuts & peanuts.

Coloured with three synthetic dyes and glazed with shellac for shine — the first product in this dataset to use shellac as a glazing agent.

Peanut (19%), Sugar, Milk Powder, Cocoa Powder, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Emulsifier [Soya Lecithin (322)], Glazing Agent [Shellac (904)], Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour and Permitted Colours [Sunset Yellow (110), Carmoisine (122), Brilliant Blue (133)].

Same recipe and same nutrition-table inconsistency as the standalone Choc-A-Nut box — this is the larger party-size resealable pouch of the identical product.

Peanut (19%), Sugar, Milk Powder, Cocoa Powder, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Emulsifier [Soya Lecithin (322)], Glazing Agent [Shellac (904)], Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour and Permitted Colours [Sunset Yellow (110), Carmoisine (122), Brilliant Blue (133)].

Sugar, Milk Powder (26%), Cocoa Butter (16%), Cocoa Mass (11%), Raisins (7.5%), Cashew Nut (7.5%), Whey Powder, Emulsifiers [Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (476), Soya Lecithin (322)], Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour and Iodized Salt.

Uses hydrogenated palm kernel oil alongside cocoa butter rather than being pure cocoa-butter chocolate, and has a notably low protein content for a milk chocolate.

Sugar, Milk Powder (26%), Cocoa Mass (13%), Cocoa Butter (12%), Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Whey Powder, Emulsifiers [Soya Lecithin (322), Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (476)], Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour and Iodized Salt.

A coffee-and-cream filled "composite chocolate" — the mocha filling includes actual coffee, so unlike most chocolates in this set it carries some caffeine, though the amount isn't stated on the label.

Mocha Filling (17%) {Sugar, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Cocoa Powder, Coffee, Irish Cream, Emulsifier [Soya Lecithin (322)], Iodized Salt and Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour}, Whipping Cream, Sugar, Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Emulsifier [Soya Lecithin (322)], Iodized Salt and Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour.

Highest sodium of any Ritzbury product in this dataset — a single 20g serving already carries about 3% of an adult's daily sodium limit.

Choco Coating (42%) {Sugar, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Milk Powder, Cocoa Powder (8%), Whey Powder, Emulsifier [Soya Lecithin (322)], Iodized Salt and Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour}, Wheat Flour, Palm Olein, Sugar, Corn Starch, Glucose, Whey Powder, Emulsifier [Soya Lecithin (322)], Leavening Agents [Sodium Bicarbonate (500ii), Ammonium Bicarbonate (503ii)] and Iodized Salt.

The sugariest biscuit in this set so far — nearly a third of it by weight is sugar, more than the cream-filled orange biscuits nearby on the same shelf tend to run.

Not captured — the photographed panel showed only the nutrition table. Needs a follow-up photo of the ingredients list.

A full adult daily sugar allowance in a single glass, with no caffeine or other trade-off to offset it.

Carbonated Water, Sugar, Citric Acid (INS 330), Tri-Sodium Citrate (INS 331(iii)), Sodium Benzoate (INS 211), Natural Lemon Flavours

The highest sodium of any product in this entire dataset so far — a single bar carries nearly 4% of an adult's daily sodium limit, and the pack holds ten of them.

Choco Coating (38%) {Sugar, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Milk Powder, Cocoa Powder, Emulsifier [Soya Lecithin (322)], Iodized Salt and Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour}, Wheat Flour, Sugar, Palm Olein, Corn Starch, Permitted Natural Colour [Caramel Class IV (150d)], Cocoa Powder, Whey Powder, Glucose, Leavening Agents [Sodium Bicarbonate (500ii), Ammonium Bicarbonate (503ii)] and Iodized Salt and Nature Identical (Caramel and Vanilla) Flavours.

Fortified with a full spread of vitamins (A, B1, B2, D2, E) and iron, but still a sugar-forward biscuit — over a fifth of it by weight is sugar.

Wheat Flour, Sugar, Vegetable Oil (Palm), Sugar Syrup, Corn Starch, Milk Powder (1.5%), Malt (Barley), Leavening Agents (Ammonium Bicarbonate – INS 503(ii), Sodium Bicarbonate – INS 500(i)), Flour Treatment Agent (Sodium Metabisulphite – INS 223), Nature Identical Flavours, Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin – INS 322), Vitamins & Minerals (label text continues beyond what was photographed — likely the Vitamin A/B1/B2/D2/E/iron premix shown in the nutrition table)

Most of the sugar here is added rather than coming from the 25% mango pulp, and one pack alone uses up most of a young child's daily sugar allowance.

Water, Mango Pulp (25%), Sugar, Stabilizer – Xanthan Gum (INS 415), Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (INS 466), Ascorbic Acid (INS 300), Citric Acid (INS 330)

Half of this wafer's weight is choc coating alone, giving it a similar sugar-and-fat density to a straight chocolate bar despite being marketed as a wafer snack.

Choco Coating (50%) {Sugar, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Milk Powder, Cocoa Powder, Iodized Salt, Emulsifiers [Soya Lecithin (322), Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (476)], Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour}, Wheat Flour, Corn Flour, Palm Olein, Hazelnut Paste (5%), Emulsifier [Soya Lecithin (322)], Iodized Salt and Leavening Agents [Sodium Bicarbonate (500ii), Ammonium Bicarbonate (503ii)].

A slightly smaller sugar hit than Red Bull, but this one adds sodium benzoate as a preservative alongside the same caffeine dose.

Carbonated Water, Sugar, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Citric Acid (INS 330), Sodium Citrate (INS 331), Taurine (400 mg/100 ml), Caffeine (32 mg/100 ml), Natural Caramel Colour (INS 150c), Inositol, Artificial (Raspberry, Strawberry, Blackcurrant, Vanilla) Flavours, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Permitted Preservative – Sodium Benzoate (INS 211)

A genuinely clean juice — 100% apple, no added sugar, colours, flavours, or preservatives — though it still delivers as much sugar per serving as most of the sodas in this set, just naturally.

100% Natural Red Apple Juice from Concentrate

Over half of this bar by weight is sugar — the highest sugar content of any chocolate in this set so far.

Sugar, Full Cream Milk Powder, Cocoa Mass, Emulsifiers (Soya Lecithin – INS 322, Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate – INS 476), Salt & Nature Identical Vanilla Flavour

Sugar alone eats a large share of a child's daily limit in one serving, and it comes with caffeine and a couple of additives worth knowing about.

Carbonated Water, Sugar, Phosphoric Acid (INS 338), Caffeine, Caramel Colour (INS 150d), Sucralose (INS 955), Natural Cola-Type Flavours

A lower-sugar cola than the big international brands, but it uses the same Class IV caramel colour and phosphoric acid as Coca-Cola.

Carbonated Water, Sugar, Natural Cola Flavour, Citric Acid (INS 330), Phosphoric Acid (INS 338), Cinnamon Extract, Nature Identical Caramel Flavour, Caramel Colour (INS 150d)

The cleanest product in this whole set — just cow's milk, nothing else, and the only sugar is what's naturally in milk.

100% Fresh Cow's Milk

Diluted down to a normal glass of juice, one serving still uses up a full day's added-sugar limit for a young child, and it's preserved with a sulphite worth flagging for sulphite-sensitive drinkers.

Sugar, Orange Juice from Concentrate, Water, Acidity Regulator Citric Acid (INS 330), Potassium Dihydrogen Citrate (INS 332(i)), Natural Orange Flavouring, Stabilizer (Cellulose Gum (INS 466), Pectin (INS 440), Guar Gum (INS 412)), Preservative (Potassium Sorbate (INS 202), Sodium Hydrogen Sulphite (INS 222)), Natural Colour (β-apo-8'-carotenal (INS 160e)), Vitamin C, Vitamin A. Contains: Milk (origin unspecified on label), Sulphite.

Low sugar makes this look "safer" than the others, but sodium at nearly 900mg/100g means a bigger handful adds up fast.

Wheat Flour, Palm Olein, Sugar, Leavening Agents [Sodium Bicarbonate (INS 500ii), Ammonium Bicarbonate (INS 503ii)], Iodized Salt, Emulsifier [Soya Lecithin], Barbecue Flavour (Nature Identical)

The benchmark in this set — almost all of the sugar is naturally occurring, not added, and every ingredient is well-studied and low concern.

Coconut Water (99%), Fructose (<1%), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C – INS 300)

The highest sugar-by-weight of any Revello product in this dataset, though the small 7.5g portion size means a single mini bar has relatively little sugar in absolute terms.

Sugar, Milk Powder (26%), Cocoa Butter (16%), Cocoa Mass (11%), Whey Powder, Emulsifiers [Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (476), Soya Lecithin (322)], Nature Identical (Vanilla) Flavour and Iodized Salt.

Nearly a quarter of this by weight is fat, most of it saturated, and it's built on a stack of four different phosphate emulsifying salts to keep the cheese smooth and spreadable.

Cheese (Cow Milk, Microbial Rennet), Water, Butter, Cream, Skimmed Milk Powder, Emulsifying Salts: Trisodium Phosphate (INS 339iii), Disodium Diphosphate (INS 450i), Tetrasodium Diphosphate (INS 450iii), Sodium Polyphosphate (INS 452i), Whey Powder, Salt, Acidifier: Citric Acid (INS 330)

Chocolate-coated peanuts with a cocoa butter substitute rather than real cocoa butter — nearly half of this by weight is sugar, and a third is fat.

Sugar, Cocoa Butter Substitute, Peanut (20%), Full Cream Milk Powder, Cocoa Powder, Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin – INS 322), Antioxidant 0.02% (Ascorbyl Palmitate – INS 304) & Nature Identical Vanilla Flavour

Zero sugar, but the same adult-strength caffeine hit as the original — sweetened instead with two artificial sweeteners.

Carbonated Water, Citric Acid (INS 330), Taurine (0.4%), Natural and Artificial (Fruit Blend – Vanilla and Pineapple) Flavours, Sodium Bicarbonate (INS 500(ii)), Magnesium Carbonate (INS 504(ii)), Caramel Colour I (INS 150a), Caffeine (32 mg/100 ml), Sucralose (INS 955), Xanthan Gum (INS 415), Niacin, Acesulfame K (INS 950), Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin, Vitamin B12.
