Product Insights
Hobnobs are a British‑style oat biscuit marketed as a sweet snack, classified under the Sugary snacks and Biscuits and cakes PNNS groups. The product receives a Nutri‑Score of E and falls in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting its high levels of added sugar (22.9 g/100 g), saturated fat (8.8 g/100 g) and modest salt (0.82 g/100 g), though it does provide a relatively high fiber content (6.5 g/100 g) from whole‑grain oats. It is suitable for vegetarians and contains gluten, but consumers should consider its high sugar and saturated‑fat levels when integrating it into a balanced diet.
