Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Kit Kats 2 Finger Milk Chocolate bar does not meet the standards set by our website for cleaner food options. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which leads to an immediate reduction in its rating. Additionally, the presence of added sugars further lowers its score.

A closer examination of the ingredients list reveals the use of natural flavourings. While ‘natural’ may seem benign, this term is often associated with ambiguous additives that can be less than desirable for health-conscious consumers. The product also includes palm oil, an ingredient widely criticized for its environmental impact and potential health implications. These factors significantly affect the product’s green leaf rating.

The Kit Kats 2 Finger Milk Chocolate bar includes ingredients such as sugar, wheat flour, various milk powders, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, and a range of other components such as vegetable fats and emulsifiers. It is fortified with calcium, iron, thiamin, and niacin. However, the benefits of these added vitamins do not offset the negative impact of the other ingredients according to our scoring system.

The use of palm oil is particularly problematic. Palm oil production has been linked to deforestation, habitat destruction, and other environmental issues. Moreover, the health implications of consuming palm oil are a concern for many, as it is high in saturated fat.

Given these considerations, the Kit Kats 2 Finger Milk Chocolate bar receives the lowest possible score on our scale. This evaluation is based on our criteria that prioritize organic ingredients, the absence of GMOs, and the avoidance of added sugars and potentially harmful additives. Consumers seeking healthier and more environmentally friendly options may find this product does not align with their values. Therefore, we advise looking for alternative snacks that better meet the criteria for cleaner, more sustainable food choices.
