Milk Chocolate Spread

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Sainsbury's Milk Chocolate Spread scores 42/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Sainsbury's Milk Chocolate Spread lists 12 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Rapeseed Oil, Palm Oil, Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder and Whey Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 42/100 Sainsbury's Milk Chocolate Spread lands mid-scale — below the typical score in chocolate, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in chocolate is Hu Organic Hazelnut Butter + Hazelnut Crunch Milk Chocolate at 100/100.
