8 UK Biscuit Brands You Must Avoid

8 UK Biscuit Brands You Must Avoid

What if the biscuits in your cupboard aren't what you think they are? In this full investigation, we expose the truth behind the UK's most trusted biscuit brands — from McVitie's Digestives and Cadbury Fingers to Oreos, Kit Kat, and more.

These aren't the same wholesome treats our grandparents enjoyed. Today's biscuits are packed with palm oil, hidden sugars, and ultra-processed ingredients — all disguised behind nostalgic packaging and words like "traditional," "family favorite," and "British."

🔍 In This Video, We Reveal:

✅ How McVitie's Digestives have been transformed from simple wheat biscuits to ultra-processed snacks with palm oil and glucose-fructose syrup
✅ Why Cadbury Fingers changed after the Kraft/Mondelez takeover — and why British consumers are still angry
✅ The shocking truth about Oreos: no real chocolate, highly addictive ingredients, and links to rainforest destruction
✅ How Fox's Crunch Creams, Maryland Cookies, and Jammie Dodgers use fake cream, minimal real chocolate, and "raspberry flavored" jam (not real raspberry jam)
✅ Why Lotus Biscoff spread is nutritionally worse than chocolate spread — despite being marketed as premium
✅ Kit Kat's dark history: Nestlé controversies, palm oil scandals, shrinkflation, and the 2010 Greenpeace orangutan campaign
✅ How foreign ownership has hollowed out British brands while keeping the packaging and patriotic branding intact
✅ Why nearly half of UK butter samples failed safety checks according to Public Health England
