Our take

CleanPlate review

Milky by name, mostly sugar and fat.

Britannia Milk Bikis Milky Sandwich Creme is a maida biscuit with a milky cream, made with 8.7% milk products and fortified with calcium, vitamin D and B vitamins.

CleanPlate scores it [F]CC4. The C for nutrition depends partly on fortification. The C for ingredients reflects interesterified fat, palm oil and artificial flavour. The 4 for risk comes from sugar and saturated fat.

Myth: "Fortified biscuits are a health food"

The vitamins are added to a sugar and fat base.

Smarter ways to eat it

Real milk instead

A glass of milk with a plain biscuit gives more calcium and less sugar.

Two biscuits, not the pack.
