Published

Summary

What to know about Dukes Waffy Choco Wafer Roll

A rich cocoa wafer roll with 1.3% cocoa

A thin crisp wafer roll with a chocolate-flavoured cream, sold in a 250 g pack. It is built on sugar, refined wheat flour and refined palm oil, with milk solids and maltodextrin, and is bought as an everyday sweet snack.

What you get is a very sweet roll: 470.8 kcal and 44.2 g of added sugar per 100 g, with 7.0 g saturated fat and 5.4 g protein, and no fibre declared. A serve of six rolls is 27.27 g, which is about 128 kcal and 12 g of sugar.

The front says with rich cocoa, but cocoa solids are 1.3% and sit seventh in the list, after sugar, flour, oils, milk solids and maltodextrin, and chocolate flavouring is added on top. That is what sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]EC4.

Does Dukes Waffy Choco Wafer Roll live up to its claims?

With rich cocoa is the misleading claim: cocoa solids are only 1.3% and chocolate flavouring is added. The chocolate flavour wording itself is honest.

  • On the pack

    “With Rich Cocoa”

    Misleading

    Cocoa solids are only 1.3% and seventh in the list, and artificial chocolate flavouring is added. Sugar is the first ingredient.

  • On the pack

    “Choco Roll”

    Partly true

    The roll is chocolate flavoured, but the cocoa behind it is 1.3% and the flavour is artificial.

  • Retail listing

    “Delicious Chocolate Flavour”

    Partly true

    It is honest as a flavour description: artificial chocolate and vanilla flavouring substances are listed.

  • Retail listing

    “Perfect for Everyday Snacking”

    Be careful

    At 44.2 g added sugar per 100 g, about 12 g in a serve of six rolls, it suits an occasional snack better than an everyday one.

Why Dukes Waffy Choco Wafer Roll scores [L]EC4

Nutrition is an E on 5.4 g protein and no fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a C because of the chocolate flavouring, and risk is a 4 on 44.2 g added sugar per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 5.4 g per 100 g, partly from milk solids, and fibre is not declared. No vitamins or minerals are listed.

The energy is mostly sugar, palm oil and refined flour, which keeps the nutrition grade 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 C

Sugar, refined wheat flour and palm oil lead. Caramel colour (150d), artificial chocolate and vanilla flavouring, and lecithin all cost ingredient points.

A flavouring named for chocolate is listed, and real cocoa is only 1.3% and not in the top three ingredients. That sets the [L] flag and costs further points.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Added sugar is the biggest driver at 44.2 g per 100 g, almost nine times a 5 g marker, followed by saturated fat at 7.0 g per 100 g.

Energy is 470.8 kcal per 100 g and sodium 116.1 mg per 100 g. Trans fat is printed as 0.1 g.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
