NOVA food-processing classification (Monteiro et al.), derived from the ingredient list. How this works
Levels use standard FSA/WHO per-100g thresholds applied to the label's declared values. See the thresholds
"Sunfeast Dark Fantasy Choco Fills is a chocolate-crème-filled wheat cookie classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4). Per 100 g it is energy-dense (507 kcal) and very high in total sugars (35.7 g, of which 33.9 g is added) and fat (27.3 g, 12.7 g saturated). The formulation combines a refined-flour cookie with a 38% choco crème of sugar, palm oils and cocoa, plus hydrogenated oil, multiple sugars, caramel colours and emulsifiers. It provides little fiber relative to its calories and is positioned as an occasional indulgent treat."
Published research associates frequent long-term consumption patterns high in added sugars and saturated fat with increased risk of weight gain, dental caries and adverse cardiometabolic considerations. WHO recommends limiting free sugars to below 10% of daily energy intake and limiting saturated fat, so items like this are better suited to occasional consumption.
*AI-synthesized from the product's declared ingredient list and public regulatory information. Confidence varies with how complete the label data is.
The combination of refined flour, multiple sugars (sucrose, invert syrup, glucose) and fat gives high energy density and palatability with low satiety per calorie, a pattern documented in food-science research. The sugars are rapidly absorbed and the fat system carries flavour and the soft, gooey texture of the filling. Emulsifiers stabilize the crème and cookie phases.

| Ingredient | Concern | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 Sugar | ⚠Elevated Concern | Sweetener | This product's added sugar density is very high, and WHO recommends limiting free sugars to below 10% of daily energy intake. |
2 Liquid Glucose | ⚠Elevated Concern | Sweetener / texturizer | A rapidly absorbed refined sugar syrup contributing to the product's high added-sugar content. |
3 Iodised Salt | ✓No Notable Concerns | Seasoning | Used at low levels here; overall sodium intake beyond recommended levels is a general dietary consideration. |
4 Caramel Colour Iv INS 150d | ⚠Moderate Concern | Colour | A permitted caramel colour within an established acceptable daily intake; a processing compound (4-methylimidazole) is subject to published safety attention. |
5 Mono- And Diglycerides Of Fatty Acids INS 471 | ⚠Moderate Concern | Emulsifier | A permitted emulsifier regarded as safe at food-use levels, with dietary emulsifiers an area of ongoing research. |
6 Flavouring Substances Synthetic | ✓Low Concern | Flavouring | Flavouring substances are used at very low levels under permitted-list regulation, with identities not individually disclosed on the label. |
7 Sodium Bicarbonate (Ins 500(Ii)) INS 500(ii) | ✓No Notable Concerns | Raising agent | A permitted raising agent regarded as safe at food-use levels. |
8 Milk Solids Allergen | ✓No Notable Concerns | Dairy ingredient | A conventional dairy ingredient that is a recognized milk allergen for sensitive individuals. |
9 Cocoa Solids | ✓No Notable Concerns | Cocoa flavour component | A natural cocoa ingredient with no specific concern at the levels used. |
10 Lecithin INS 322 Allergen | ✓No Notable Concerns | Emulsifier | A widely used emulsifier regarded as safe; being soy-derived it is relevant to soy-allergic individuals. |
11 Palmolein | ⚠Moderate Concern | Fat phase | A permitted edible oil whose saturated fat content warrants moderation within overall dietary fat intake. |
12 Palm Oil | ⚠Moderate Concern | Fat phase | A permitted edible oil whose saturated fat content warrants moderation within overall dietary fat intake. |
13 Refined Wheat Flour Allergen | ⚠Moderate Concern | Cookie base / structural starch | A refined cereal that is a gluten source; refined-grain-heavy diets are less optimal than whole-grain patterns. |
14 Hydrogenated Oil | ⚠Moderate Concern | Fat / texturizer | Hydrogenated fats can be a source of trans and saturated fat; WHO recommends minimising industrial trans fat, and this product's declared trans fat is low. |
15 Invert Sugar | ⚠Elevated Concern | Sweetener / humectant | A free-sugar syrup contributing to the product's high added-sugar content. |
16 Ammonium Bicarbonate (Ins 503(Ii)) INS 503(ii) | ✓No Notable Concerns | Raising agent | A permitted raising agent regarded as safe; it decomposes during baking. |
17 Disodium Diphosphate INS 450(i) | ⚠Moderate Concern | Raising agent / acidity regulator | A permitted phosphate additive within an established acceptable daily intake; high total phosphate intake is a consideration for people with kidney conditions. |
18 Butter Allergen | ⚠Moderate Concern | Dairy fat / flavour | A dairy fat high in saturated fat and a recognized milk allergen for sensitive individuals. |
19 Ammonia Caramel INS 150c | ⚠Moderate Concern | Colour | A permitted caramel colour within an established acceptable daily intake; a processing compound (4-methylimidazole) is subject to published safety attention. |
