What You Should Know

You'd spot these chocolate breakfast biscuits in the breakfast or snack aisle or grab them from a cafe grab-and-go shelf when you want a quick sweet start or an afternoon nibble. They feel slightly indulgent but marketed as wholesome—oats, flax, and added B vitamins give a health-forward vibe while cocoa and sugar deliver a treat-like hit. The inclusion of refined starches, palm oil, emulsifiers (sunflower lecithin), natural flavors and preservatives points to industrial formulation for uniform crisp texture and long shelf life, a hallmark of ultraprocessed products.
