Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Mono- and Diglycerides

Emulsifiers that can contain small amounts of trans fats, but loophole laws allow foods containing them to be labeled '0g Trans Fat'.

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.

Maltodextrin

A highly processed white powder from corn or wheat. It has a higher Glycemic Index than table sugar (spiking insulin rapidly) and can suppress good gut bacteria.

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.

Caramel Color

The brown color in colas. Class III and IV caramel coloring contain 4-MEI, a chemical byproduct that is a possible human carcinogen.

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Pirouette Chocolate Hazelnut 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 30/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of Mono- and Diglycerides. Emulsifiers that can contain small amounts of trans fats, but loophole laws allow foods containing them to be labeled '0g Trans Fat'. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 39g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 10 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, Pirouette Chocolate Hazelnut achieves a CakeID Score of 30/100.

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.
