Our take
CleanPlate reviewCream-filled cookie with hydrogenated fat and two caramels
Sunfeast Dark Fantasy Choco Fills has a choco creme centre (38%) of sugar, palmolein, palm oil and cocoa solids, in a shell of maida and hydrogenated vegetable oil. Two caramel colours, three raising agents and emulsifiers complete it.
CleanPlate scores it [R]ED5. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 7.3 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The D for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by choco creme, maida and hydrogenated vegetable oil), with additives that cost points: caramel colour, diphosphates and flavouring. A red flag (hydrogenated fat / vanaspati (unqualified)) cuts the score by 40%. The 5 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (12.7 g per 100 g) and free sugar (33.9 g per 100 g).

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Choco creme 38% (sugar, refined palmolein, refined palm oil, cocoa solids 5.3%, soy lecithin, nature-identical chocolate and artificial vanilla flavouring), maida, hydrogenated vegetable oil, sugar, invert syrup, liquid glucose, raising agents (INS 503(ii), 500(ii), 450(i)), cocoa solids 0.7%, butter, milk solids, iodised salt, flavouring, colours (INS 150c, 150d), emulsifiers (soy lecithin, mono- and diglycerides) and artificial milk and vanilla flavours.
Per 100 g: 507 kcal, 27.3 g fat of which 12.7 g saturated, 35.7 g sugar of which 33.9 g added, 7.3 g protein, 182 mg sodium. No fibre line. Hydrogenated fat is scored as partially hydrogenated until the maker confirms "fully hydrogenated" (provisional; pack to be checked).
Ingredients to watch
- Unqualified hydrogenated oilConcern
Treated as partially hydrogenated oil, which carries industrial trans fat; the panel shows 0.1 g, but the rule does not accept that at face value.
- Added sugarConcern
33.9 g per 100 g, about a third of the cookie.
- Two caramel coloursConcern
INS 150c and 150d can contain 4-methylimidazole, classed as possibly carcinogenic (IARC 2B); each costs 4 points.
- Diphosphate and emulsifiersWorth watching
INS 450(i) costs 4 points and the mono- and diglycerides and lecithin add more.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "The panel says 0.1 g trans fat, so it is trans-fat free"
Hydrogenated fat is on the list and small amounts can be rounded down on a panel; we score the ingredient, not the rounded number.
Myth: "Dark in the name means dark chocolate"
The cocoa solids are 5.3% of the creme and 0.7% of the shell; sugar leads the creme.

Treat one or two as dessert, not a daily snack.
Dark chocolate square
A square of 70% dark chocolate satisfies the same craving with cocoa butter instead of hydrogenated fat.
