Our take

CleanPlate review

Chocolate chip cookies with 28 g of added sugar

Britannia Good Day Chunkies Chocochip Cookies are maida with dark chocolate chips (20%), sugar, cocoa solids, cocoa butter, dextrose, interesterified vegetable fat, sugar syrup, milk solids, milk chocolate chips (4%), butter, liquid glucose and oats powder, raised with phosphates and carbonates.

CleanPlate scores it EC5. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 6.8 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by refined wheat flour, dark chocolate chips and sugar), with additives that cost points: calcium phosphates, diphosphates and mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. The 5 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (13.7 g per 100 g) and free sugar (30.5 g per 100 g).
