Published

Summary

WEME Choco Hazelnut Spread is a sweet chocolate spread built on sugar and palm oil, with hazelnut and cocoa in small amounts. It scores [L]EC5: nutrition is low because there is little protein, ingredients lose points because the hazelnut and chocolate flavours are added artificially, and risk is high because of the sugar and saturated fat.

What to know about WEME Choco Hazelnut Spread

A hazelnut spread led by sugar and palm oil

A 350 g chocolate spread built on sugar, refined palmolein oil and milk solids, with hazelnut paste (7%) and cocoa powder (5%) behind them. Maltodextrin, an emulsifier, salt and artificial flavouring complete the list. It is sold as an everyday spread for tiffins and on-the-go snacking.

Per 100 g it has 543 kcal, 3.42 g protein, 42.13 g total sugar (36.62 g of it added), 11.1 g saturated fat and 100.82 mg sodium. On the pack's 14 g serve that is about 76 kcal, 5.1 g added sugar and 1.6 g saturated fat.

The name promises hazelnut and chocolate. The list does carry hazelnut paste and cocoa, but both sit well behind sugar and oil, and artificial hazelnut and chocolate flavourings are added as well. That is what sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]EC5.

Does WEME Choco Hazelnut Spread live up to its claims?

The name promises hazelnut and chocolate, but both sit behind sugar, oil and milk solids and are backed by artificial flavouring. Real hazelnut paste is 7% and cocoa is 5%.

  • Product name

    “Choco Hazelnut”

    Misleading

    Artificial hazelnut and chocolate flavourings are listed, and the real hazelnut paste (7%) and cocoa (5%) are not in the top three ingredients. Sugar, oil and milk solids come first.

  • Retail listing

    “Made with Real Hazelnuts and Cocoa”

    Partly true

    Hazelnut paste is 7% and cocoa powder is 5%, so they are real but small next to the sugar and palmolein oil.

  • On the pack

    “Wellness tagline on the front”

    Be careful

    The front frames the spread as wholesome. Added sugar is 36.62 g per 100 g and saturated fat is 11.1 g, so the numbers read as a sweet treat.

  • Retail listing

    “Trans fat 31.5 g per 100 g”

    Be careful

    The retailer page shows trans fat of 31.5 g per 100 g, but the pack shows less than 0.1 g. The pack's saturated fat of 11.1 g matches the retailer page, so the trans fat figure is not credible.

Why WEME Choco Hazelnut Spread scores [L]EC5

Nutrition is an E on 3.42 g protein per 100 g. Ingredients are a C because of artificial flavouring and emulsifiers, and risk is a 5 on 36.62 g added sugar and 11.1 g saturated fat.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 3.42 g per 100 g, and most of it comes from milk solids and the small share of hazelnut paste. No fibre figure, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade.

Energy is 543 kcal per 100 g, mostly from sugar and oil, which is why the grade sits 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 palmolein oil and milk solids lead the list. Hazelnut paste (7%) and cocoa powder (5%) follow, with maltodextrin between them.

Artificial flavouring, PGPR (476) and lecithin (322) each cost ingredient points.

Hazelnut and chocolate flavourings are listed while the real hazelnut and cocoa are not among the first three ingredients. That sets the [L] flag and costs label 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 5

Added sugar is the largest driver at 36.62 g per 100 g, with saturated fat next at 11.1 g, more than twice the 5 g high line.

Energy at 543 kcal adds to it, while sodium at 100.82 mg per 100 g plays only a small part. One 14 g serve has 5.1 g added sugar and 1.6 g saturated fat.

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

What's in WEME Choco Hazelnut Spread?

Sugar, palmolein oil and milk solids lead the list. Watch the added sugar, the saturated fat and the artificial flavouring.

The ingredient list, read for you

Sugar comes first, then refined palmolein oil and milk solids, so the spread is mostly sweetener and fat. Hazelnut paste (7%) and cocoa powder (5%) give the nut and chocolate base, with maltodextrin adding more sweetness and body.

The emulsifiers PGPR (476) and lecithin (322) keep the oil and solids smooth, salt seasons it, and artificial hazelnut, chocolate and ethyl vanillin flavouring boost the taste. It contains milk, soy and nuts.

Ingredients to watch

  • Added sugarConcern

    36.62 g per 100 g, the biggest driver of the risk grade. One 14 g serve has 5.1 g.

  • Artificial flavouringConcern

    Hazelnut, chocolate and ethyl vanillin flavourings cost ingredient points, and the first two set the [L] flag because the real ingredients are not in the top three.

  • Saturated fatConcern

    11.1 g per 100 g, from palmolein oil and milk solids. One 14 g serve has 1.6 g.

  • PGPR (476) and lecithin (322)Worth watching

    Emulsifiers that cost ingredient points, PGPR more than lecithin.

  • Hazelnut paste and cocoaFine

    Real hazelnut paste (7%) and cocoa powder (5%) are in the list, though in small amounts.

What it doesn’t have

  • No fibre figure, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
