Our take
CleanPlate reviewAlmonds are real, but sugar leads the list
Amul Almondbar is a milk chocolate bar of sugar, liquid glucose, cocoa butter, milk solids, almonds (11.5%) and cocoa solids. Three emulsifiers and artificial vanilla and cocoa flavouring finish it.
CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 6 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by sugar, liquid glucose and cocoa butter), with additives that cost points: flavouring, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids and PGPR. The 4 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (39.4 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (7.4 g per 100 g).

Myth: "Milk chocolate has the goodness of milk"
Milk solids are listed fourth, after sugar, liquid glucose and cocoa butter.

A 35 g bar has about 14 g of added sugar; half is plenty for a treat.
Choose almonds plain
