Published
Beanly Choco Hazelnut Spread with Breadsticks is a small snack pot of sweet chocolate-hazelnut dip with breadsticks for dipping. It scores [L]EB4: nutrition is lowest because there is next to no fibre and little else of value, ingredients hold up fairly well but lose points for the zero-preservatives claim, and risk is high because of the sugar. Best as an occasional treat.

What to know about Beanly Choco Hazelnut Spread
A sweet dip pot that says zero preservatives
A 52 g snack pot with two parts: a dip made from groundnut oil, hazelnut, milk solids, sugar and cocoa powder, and breadsticks made from refined wheat flour, groundnut oil and inverted sugar syrup. It is sold as an office-break or on-the-go snack for people who want something sweet and crunchy. The pack declares no percentages for any ingredient.
The whole pot is one serve: 260 kcal, 6.6 g protein, 16.9 g total sugar (12.7 g of it added) and 210 mg sodium. Per 100 g that is 500 kcal, 12.69 g protein and 32.5 g sugar. Saturated fat is 4.42 g per 100 g, about 2.3 g per pot, just under the 5 g high line.
The name leans on chocolate, yet no cocoa percentage is declared. The back of the pack says zero preservatives, but the breadsticks carry a dough conditioner (223), sodium metabisulphite, which is a preservative. That mismatch sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]EB4.
Does Beanly Choco Hazelnut Spread live up to its claims?
The no palm oil and trans fat free claims hold, but zero preservatives does not, because the breadsticks contain sodium metabisulphite (223). Chocolate is promised but no cocoa percentage is declared.
- On the packMisleading
“Zero Preservatives”
The breadsticks list a dough conditioner (223), which is sodium metabisulphite, a preservative. The no preservatives line on the listing has the same problem.
- Product nameBe careful
“Choco Hazelnut”
Hazelnut and cocoa powder are both in the dip, but the pack gives no percentage for either, even though chocolate is stressed in the name.
- On the packHolds
“No Palm Oil”
The fat is groundnut oil in both the dip and the breadsticks. No palm oil is listed.
- On the packHolds
“Trans Fat Free”
Trans fat is 0 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Fibre figure”
The retailer page shows 0 g fibre, while one pack panel shows 1.6 g and another leaves it blank. Either way, fibre is very low.
Why Beanly Choco Hazelnut Spread scores [L]EB4
Nutrition is an E because there is no counted fibre and little else to credit. Ingredients are a B but lose points for the preservative and an unclear chocolate claim. Risk is a 4, driven mainly by about 25.8 g of free sugar per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 12.7 g
- Fibre
- 0 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 500 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 12.69 g per 100 g, about 6.6 g in one 52 g pot, but it is not enough to lift the grade. Fibre is 0 g in the figures used, and no vitamins or minerals are declared.
With no fibre credit and no micronutrients, nothing else adds to the grade, so it sits at the bottom.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is simple in structure: groundnut oil, hazelnut, milk solids, sugar and cocoa powder in the dip, and refined wheat flour, groundnut oil and inverted sugar syrup in the breadsticks. No hydrogenated fat is listed and no palm oil is used, which keeps the grade up.
The dough conditioner (223), sodium metabisulphite, costs ingredient points, and soya lecithin (322) costs a smaller amount. The zero preservatives claim, which a preservative contradicts, and a chocolate name with no cocoa percentage cost further ingredient points and set the [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 24.4 g
- Sodium
- 403.9 mg
- Saturated fat
- 4.4 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar is the biggest driver: about 25.8 g of free sugar per 100 g, which includes the sugar from the inverted syrup in the breadsticks. One pot has about 13 g.
Energy (500 kcal per 100 g, 260 per pot) and sodium (404 mg per 100 g, 210 mg per pot) add to it. Saturated fat is 4.42 g per 100 g, under the 5 g high line, so it adds the least. Trans fat is 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.
