Free sugar vs total sugar
The sugar figure on a chocolate bar label is total sugars. Understanding the difference between free sugar and total sugar matters for reading any nutrition label accurately.
Free sugar vs total sugar: what the label shows
The sugar figure on a chocolate bar label is total sugars. In most chocolate, this is almost entirely free sugar, because chocolate is made from added sugar rather than whole food ingredients that contain naturally occurring sugars. Unlike flavoured yoghurt, where lactose from dairy inflates the total sugars figure, or fruit juice, where the sugar was once bound inside whole fruit, the sugar in chocolate is added in its free form and counts in full against the NHS daily free sugar limit.
This is an important distinction from many other packaged foods. A yoghurt showing 14g of total sugars may contain only 8g of free sugar. A chocolate bar showing 27g of total sugars contains 27g of free sugar. The number on the label means what it says.
The daily free sugar limit is 30g for adults and children aged 11 and over, 24g for children aged 7 to 10, and 19g for children aged 4 to 6. A standard chocolate bar can represent a significant share of any of these limits in a single serving.
Raffles Hazelnut Praline (5 pieces, 26g) contains 3.5g of saturated fat per serving (26g), 18% of the adult daily guideline of 20g, and 27% of the guideline for a child aged 7 to 10 (13g). The saturated fat comes primarily from cocoa butter in the chocolate.
Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Raffles Hazelnut Praline (5 pieces, 26g) is made from 2 main components: milk chocolate shell and hazelnut praline filling. Each component is produced separately before being combined.
Reading the ingredient list closely, Raffles Hazelnut Praline (5 pieces, 26g) contains emulsifiers, vanillin and vegetable fats (such as palm or shea). These are not used to add nutritional value. Emulsifiers help fat and water-based ingredients blend together and stay mixed. Vanillin is a synthetic vanilla flavouring used instead of natural vanilla extract, providing vanilla taste at lower cost. Vegetable fats (such as palm or shea) partially replace more expensive cocoa butter in the chocolate, affecting the melting point and texture.
None of this means the ingredients are unsafe. What it indicates is the degree of industrial formulation involved. A piece of good quality chocolate made at home or by an artisan would typically use cocoa mass, cocoa butter, sugar and milk, with few or no additional processing aids. Mass-market chocolate reaches a similar result using a longer ingredient list with additional vegetable fats, emulsifiers and flavourings designed to keep the product consistent and cost-effective at industrial scale.
Looking at the ingredient list rather than just the sugar and calorie figures reveals the additives and processing aids that give this product its consistent flavour and texture at industrial scale.
Processing (NOVA classification)
Raffles Hazelnut Praline (5 pieces, 26g) falls into NOVA group 4, ultra-processed food. The NOVA classification system groups foods by the extent and purpose of the processing involved. Group 4 covers products that are formulated mostly or entirely from substances derived from foods, plus additives. In this item, that includes emulsifiers, vanillin and vegetable fats (such as palm or shea). This classification applies to almost all mass-market chocolate and confectionery, regardless of the cocoa percentage or marketing claims.
