Our take
CleanPlate reviewSilk chocolate with a sugary biscuit centre
Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk Oreo is a milk chocolate shell (50%: sugar, milk solids, cocoa butter, cocoa solids) around a centre (50%) of fractionated fat, biscuit (13%), sugar and milk solids, with emulsifiers (INS 442, 476, 322) and vanilla flavourings.
CleanPlate scores it EB5. 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, milk solids and cocoa butter), with additives that cost points: flavouring, ammonium phosphatides and PGPR. The 5 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (22.3 g per 100 g) and free sugar (42.7 g per 100 g).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- Product nameHolds
“Silk Oreo Milk Chocolate Bar”
The bar has a milk chocolate shell (50%) and a biscuit centre; Oreo is a brand name and the list does not name it.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Made from 100% sustainably sourced cocoa”
True or not, cocoa solids are a small share of a bar that is mostly sugar and fat.

Per 100 g: 563 kcal, 34.8 g fat of which 22.3 g saturated, 48.9 g sugar of which 42.7 g added, 6 g protein, 207 mg sodium.

Common misconceptions
Myth: "Silk chocolate is smoother because it has more cocoa"
Smoothness comes from the fat and sugar; cocoa solids are a small share here.
Myth: "A bar is a single serve"
The listing serve is 20 g, so a 58.5 g bar is nearly three servings.
