Our take

CleanPlate review

A sweet bun built on maida, sugar and industrial fat.

Modern's Choco Sweet Fill Bread Roll is a maida bun with a sugary cocoa filling and icing, made with interesterified vegetable fat.

CleanPlate scores it DC4. The D for nutrition reflects refined flour and sugar with little fibre or micronutrient value. The C for ingredients reflects interesterified fat and a long additive list. The 4 for risk comes from added sugar and saturated fat.

Common misconceptions

Nutritionally it is closer to a pastry.

Myth: "Zero trans fat means a healthy fat"

Interesterified fat avoids trans fat but is still a highly processed fat.
