Dark Creams

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

McVitie's Dark Creams scores 5/100 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.

McVitie's Dark Creams lists 15 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Palm and Cocoa Mass. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 McVitie's Dark Creams 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.
