Also Contains
Sugar Alcohols
- Glycerin
Chemically a sugar alcohol, used to keep bars soft and moist rather than to sweeten. The EU safety authority found no safety concern at food levels. Large amounts can draw water into the gut and have a laxative effect.
EFSA re-evaluation of glycerol E422 (2017)
Seed Oils
- Sunflower Oil
Refined oils high in omega-6 linoleic acid. Controlled trials show oils rich in linoleic acid lower LDL cholesterol compared with saturated fat, and heart health bodies support their use. The concern raised in popular coverage is about the omega-6 to omega-3 balance of the wider diet, and about oxidation products when these oils are repeatedly heated.
