Product Insights
Benco Original is an instant cocoa powder designed for hot beverages, falling under the cocoa and chocolate powders dietary family. It carries a Nutri-Score of E and is classified as NOVA 4, reflecting its high level of processing and the presence of added sugar (about 12 g per 100 g) and flavourings, while also offering added vitamin B1 and being labeled gluten-free. The product’s nutritional profile shows a high sugar load and moderate saturated fat, balanced by low salt and a modest protein content, but the ultra-processed nature and lack of natural fiber limit its healthfulness.
