Product Insights
McVitie's Rich Tea Classic biscuits belong to the sugary snacks and biscuits and cakes families, offering a crisp, lightly sweet treat. They carry a Nutri-Score of D and are classified as NOVA group 4, reflecting their ultra‑processed nature with added sugars, glucose‑fructose syrup, raising agents and two food additives (E500, E503). While they provide moderate protein and fiber, the high sugar (20.2 g), moderate fat (15.5 g) and salt (0.9 g) levels, along with a modest Eco‑Score of C, indicate nutritional drawbacks despite a pleasant taste.
