The ingredients of McVitie’s Jaffa Jonuts include an orange-flavored filling (21%) made from sugar, water, glucose syrup, dextrose, invert sugar syrup, concentrated orange juice, and stabilizer (pectin). The filling is complemented by a soft sponge made from wheat flour, water, sugar, and vegetable oil (sunflower). The dark chocolate (14%) coating is made from sugar, cocoa mass, vegetable fats (such as palm and shea), butter oil (milk), cocoa butter, emulsifiers (soya lecithin and E476), and natural flavoring. Additional ingredients include humectants (glycerine and sorbitol), glucose syrup, whole egg, starch, dried whey (milk), and a variety of emulsifiers and raising agents. Natural orange flavoring and preservatives (sorbic acid and potassium sorbate) help maintain the freshness and flavor of the cakes.
