Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Mars Bar scores 16/100 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. 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.

Mars Bar lists 15 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Skimmed Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter and Cocoa Mass. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 16/100 Mars Bar scores worse than most chocolate we have scored. A higher-scoring option in chocolate is Hu Organic Hazelnut Butter + Hazelnut Crunch Milk Chocolate at 100/100.
