Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Kirkland Signature Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa scores 30/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 1g protein and 10g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Kirkland Signature Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa lists 9 ingredients, starting with Sucre, Huile de Tournesol, Noisettes, Cacao and Lait Écrémé en Poudre. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

110 kcal per serving, or 550 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Kirkland Signature Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 30/100 Kirkland Signature Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa scores worse than most syrups & spreads we have scored. A higher-scoring option in syrups & spreads is Spring Tree 100% Pure Rich Taste Maple Syrup at 100/100.
