SIMSON’S PANTRY MIXED WHOLEGRAIN
This wrap shows some potential, with moderate sodium levels and no artificial colours, but key concerns outweigh the positives. The inclusion of cultured dextrose (a preservative that functions like propionates), emulsifier 4
SIMSON’S PANTRY WHITE PREMIUM WRAPS
These wraps sit firmly in the ‘LIMIT’ category. The main red flag is that vegetable shortening is in position 3, plus 9 different ingredients, including several additives. This places them firmly in the white ultra-proces
HELGAS TRADITIONAL WHOLEMEAL WRAPS
At first glance, this wrap may appear like a better option thanks to its “wholemeal” labelling and 49% wholemeal wheat flour content. But beyond that, it’s still a highly processed product with refined wheat flour, adde
HELGAS TRADITIONAL WHITE WRAPS
Don’t be fooled by the word “traditional” on the pack, this white wrap is far from a simple staple. Made with refined wheat flour and multiple industrial additives, it’s more ultra-processed than the branding suggests

UNCLE TOBYS PROTEIN CARAMEL AND DARK CHOCOLATE MUESLI BARS SCHOOL LUNCHBOX SNACKS
This bar may boast high protein and fibre, but it's built on ultra-processed ingredients like glucose syrup, soy protein isolate, compound chocolate, and refined oils. With multiple synthetic additives and almost no recognisa
NICE AND NATURAL PROTEIN NUT BARS SALTED CARAMEL WITH SUPERSEEDS
With 60% peanuts and seeds, this bar looks promising. But beyond the wholefoods, it’s propped up by ultra-processed protein isolates, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, glycerine and refined sunflower oil — a common formula in
