At 1631 kcal per 100g, this snack alone exceeds most daily calorie needs. The 14.8g fat and 68.4g carbs combine to create a high energy density, and daily consumption without reducing other intake leads to a surplus of about 800–1000 kcal, translating to roughly 0.1–0.2 kg of fat gain per day.
Despite a glycemic index of 39, the 62.2g of sugar (124% DV) per 100g causes a rapid glucose absorption. The low GI is due to the fat and fiber (3.1g) slowing digestion, but the sheer sugar load still spikes insulin, followed by a crash that triggers hunger and cravings.
Each 100g provides 0.373mg copper, which is 41% of the daily value. Eating this daily, especially with other copper-rich foods, can lead to excessive copper intake. Chronic high copper can cause oxidative stress and liver damage, though this is more relevant for those with Wilson's disease or taking zinc supplements.
The 1631 kcal leaves little room for nutrient-dense foods. While it provides some potassium (514mg, 11% DV) and magnesium (45mg, 11% DV), the high sugar and fat content can displace meals, leading to deficiencies in protein (only 4.1g) and other vitamins over time.
Verdict
Daily consumption of milk chocolate coated raisins is a fast track to weight gain and metabolic stress due to extreme calorie and sugar density. Occasional treats are fine, but this should not be a daily habit.
⚠️ Who Should Avoid
- People with diabetes or prediabetes
- Individuals trying to lose weight
- Those with Wilson's disease or copper metabolism disorders
