Chocolate and almond cookies from Generous — gluten-free, vegan, with 33% less sugar than a comparable cookie and enough fibre to qualify as a source of it. 100 g.
CONTAINS ALMONDS
Almond is a named tree nut under EU allergen law and it is an ingredient here. Check the pack for the full declaration and any traces.
Gluten-free and vegan — which is unusual
Worth pointing out, because it is genuinely useful and because the same brand's Victor Vanille shortbread is neither. These are the box to reach for when you are catering for a mixed group and do not want to buy three different things.
It is also the harder biscuit to make. Gluten-free baking usually leans on butter or egg for structure and richness, and taking both away leaves you very little to work with.
The two nutrition claims, checked
Both of these are regulated terms rather than marketing language, which is why they are worth reading.
"33% less sugar" is a comparative claim. Under EU rules a reduced-sugar claim requires at least a 30% reduction against a similar product, so this clears the bar — just.
"Rich in fibre" — or "high in fibre" — has a defined threshold: at least 6 g of fibre per 100 g. It is a real figure that has to be met, not a general impression.
What neither means is low in sugar. Reduced is a comparison; low is a separate and much stricter claim with its own threshold, and this does not carry it. It is a biscuit, made better.
The brand story, and why it is not the whole page
These biscuits are sold on the Chocolate Kid story — a superhero who "diffuses unlimited energy all around him" against dark forces that make your eyelids heavy in the middle of the afternoon. It is charming, and we are not repeating it out of sourness.
We have left it off because on its own it is the entire pitch, and because it does the work of implying an energy benefit that a biscuit page should not imply. There is no authorised claim of that kind here, and the honest version is more useful: it is a chocolate biscuit, it has less sugar than most, it has some fibre, and it will be pleasant at four in the afternoon.
Made in Belgium
Generous is a Belgian biscuit maker, despite the French naming.
