Food categories

Everything else we've analysed across the food aisle.

Sodas, energy drinks and juices — a common source of hidden sugar, sweeteners and colours.

Crisps, chips, popcorn and savoury bites — often loaded with salt, saturated fat and additives.

Chocolate bars and spreads — sugar, palm oil and emulsifiers are the usual suspects.

Yogurts, cheeses, butters and spreads — watch for added sugar, stabilisers and saturated fat.

Breakfast cereals and bars — many market themselves as healthy while packing in sugar.

Ketchups, mayos and dressings — frequently high in sugar, salt and preservatives.

Frozen desserts — cream, sugar, stabilisers and sometimes a long additive list.

Gummies, hard sweets and confectionery — dominated by sugar and artificial colours.
