Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

McVitie's digestive chocolate biscuit scores 89/100 on Tallow — our clean 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 digestive chocolate biscuit lists 7 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Sugar, Wholemeal Wheat Flour, Partially Inverted Sugar Syrup and Sodium Bicarbonate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 89/100 McVitie's digestive chocolate biscuit sits in our top band, among the better cookies we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cookies is Simple Mills Mini Cookies Almond Flour Chocolate Chip at 91/100.
