Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Corn Syrup

A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues.

Moderate Caution

Palm Oil

A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants.

Artificial Flavor

A mixture of chemicals synthesized in a lab to mimic natural tastes. Manufacturers are not required to disclose the specific ingredients used in these proprietary blends.

Dextrose

A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler.

Sunflower Oil

Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Safflower Oil

Similar to sunflower oil. Industrial processing often involves high heat and chemical solvents.

Full Ingredients List:

corn syrup, sugar, vegetable oil [palm oil, shea oil, sunflower oil, palm kernel oil, and/or safflower oil], dextrose, nonfat milk, reduced protein whey (milk), chocolate, contains 2% or less of: brown sugar, mono - and diglycerides, whey (milk), baking soda, confectioner's glaze, salt, tapioca dextrin, lecithin (soy), vanillin, artificial flavor.

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Chocolate and caramel candy truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 15/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of Corn Syrup. A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 57g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 14 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Chocolate and caramel candy achieves a CakeID Score of 15/100.

Treat Only: Due to the low score, we recommend enjoying this only as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.

Health Recommendations

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.
