Full Analysis

Ingredients (12)

Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Skim Milk Powder, Cocoa Mass, Lactose, Milk Fat, Emulsifier: Soy Lecithin, Natural Vanilla Flavor)

aka Milk chocolate coating

Milk chocolate is mostly sugar and fat, though cocoa butter and milk solids are traditional, recognizable ingredients. Fine in moderation.

Daily Intake — Sugar-based coating contributes a large share of the bar's total sugar
MODERATE

Sugar

aka Table sugar

Sugar is the first or second ingredient by weight, and high free sugar intake is linked to weight gain, dental decay and metabolic issues.

Daily Intake — A 50g pack has about 24g total sugars, roughly 27% of the daily limit (90g reference) and nearly 100% of the WHO's ideal 25g free sugar target
HIGH RISK

Wheat Flour

aka Refined white flour

Used in the biscuit base. It is refined, so it offers little fiber and is rapidly digested, and it contains gluten.

Daily Intake — Refined carbohydrate with minimal fiber
MODERATE

Glucose Syrup

aka Corn syrup / glucose

A second added sweetener that raises the overall sugar content and glycemic impact. It provides calories without nutrients.

Daily Intake — Adds to total sugar load on top of sucrose
HIGH RISK

Palm Oil

Controversial
aka Palm fat

High in saturated fat, and palm oil production is strongly associated with deforestation and habitat loss, though some brands use RSPO-certified sources.

Daily Intake — Contributes to saturated fat: about 7g per 50g pack, roughly 35% of the daily limit
HIGH RISK

Skim Milk Powder

aka Dried milk

A simple dairy ingredient providing a small amount of protein and calcium. Not a concern except for those with milk allergy or lactose intolerance.

Daily Intake — No concern at typical amounts
SAFE

Sweetened Condensed Skim Milk

aka Caramel base

A traditional caramel ingredient, but it is high in sugar.

Daily Intake — Adds more sugar to the caramel layer
MODERATE

Cocoa Butter

aka Chocolate fat

A natural fat from cacao beans. It is saturated, but it has a neutral effect on cholesterol compared with some other saturated fats.

Daily Intake — Contributes to saturated fat but is a natural source
SAFE

Salt

aka Sodium chloride

Present in small amounts for flavor. Not a concern at this level.

Daily Intake — About 0.15g per pack, roughly 3% of the daily limit
SAFE

Soy Lecithin

E322
aka Soy emulsifier

A widely used, well-studied emulsifier that is generally recognized as safe. It is a soy allergen for sensitive individuals.

Daily Intake — No concern at typical amounts
SAFE

Sodium Bicarbonate

E500
aka Baking soda

A common leavening agent considered safe at food levels.

Daily Intake — No concern
SAFE

Natural and Artificial Flavors / Vanillin

aka Flavoring

Flavorings are approved as safe, but undisclosed blends make it hard to know exactly what they contain. Vanillin is considered low risk.

Daily Intake — Minimal amounts
MODERATE

Fun Fact

Twix was first launched in the UK in 1967 by Mars, and its name comes from combining 'twin' and 'extra', a nod to the two bars in each pack.
