Caffè Nero Chocolate and Hazelnut Croissant is made with a published list of at least 21 distinct ingredients. Reading it closely, it contains emulsifiers, flour treatment agents, acidity regulators, flavourings and modified starches. These are not there to add nutritional value.

Strengthen dough so it handles and proves consistently at scale.

Acidity regulators

Hold the pH steady so flavour and shelf life stay consistent.

Flavourings

Add or restore flavour that processing has taken away.

Modified starches

Starches altered to thicken and stabilise under heat and storage.
