Our take
CleanPlate reviewTwo layers of milk chocolate, mostly sugar and fat
Cadbury Dairy Milk Milkinis is a filled chocolate: a milk chocolate shell (60%) and a centre filling (40%), both built on sugar, milk solids, cocoa butter and fractionated fat, with emulsifiers (442, 476), caramel and vanilla flavouring and cocoa butter equivalent. The pack is 34 g and the panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it EB5. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 8.7 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, milk solids and cocoa butter), with additives that cost points: flavouring, ammonium phosphatides and PGPR. The 5 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (17.5 g per 100 g) and free sugar (42.8 g per 100 g).
