Our take
CleanPlate reviewCocoa base inside, palm-oil coating outside
Mimo Mega Bar Chocolate Truffle is an 80 ml stick with a chocolate ice cream inner layer (water, milk solids, a cocoa base, sugar, liquid glucose and stabilisers) and an outer dark compound covering made with palm kernel oil. The pack prints the panel per 80 ml, converted here to per 100 ml.
CleanPlate scores it EC4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by milk solids, cocoa solids and anhydrous milk fat), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, flavouring, locust bean gum and guar gum. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (12.2 g per 100 ml) and free sugar (17.2 g per 100 ml).
