Mercadona finally withdraws “the caloric bomb”, one of the most controversial products in its catalog

On By Garmin Philip

This caloric bomb in the shape of a chocolate palm tree that Mercadona marketed has already disappeared from its shelves.

When preparing our weekly purchase at the supermarket, we must have a balance of good foods that allow an adequate intake of nutrients, meeting all the needs of our family and, sometimes, we give ourselves the occasional tribute by buying pastries, and depending on what you find, it may not be so good for your health.

At the end of 2020, a kind of chocolate palm tree marketed by Mercadona and that it was practically considered a real caloric bomb because it contained about 2,300 kilocalories, more than enough to feed a person in a single day, but without fulfilling the necessary nutrients.

At that time, Julius Basult, who is a teacher at the Faculty of Health Sciences and Welfare of the Central University of Catalonia, warned about this food that is actually a caloric bomb.

At that time, the teacher pointed out that eating this huge chocolate palm tree covered all the calories that a human body needs for the whole day, but without satisfying the nutritional needs that a body needs to be healthy and function well.

And it is that for only 1.60 euros, Mercadona was selling a product with a lot of sugar, bad fats and a large amount of salt, but without the nutrients required by our body, which we must always take care of.

Well, we do not know if Mercadona has definitively withdrawn this product from its shelves due to criticism or other circumstances, but as confirmed by the media Men’s Health, no longer sells the giant chocolate palm tree that contained these 2,300 kilocalories.

Although eating a good chocolate palm tree is always very satisfying, it should always be combined with other types of food with the necessary nutrients that we need to always have adequate health.
