Choko La Fennel Fusion Dark Chocolate — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Choko La Fennel Fusion Dark Chocolate by choko la BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
A premium dark chocolate sold on 'all-natural, artisanal' positioning that quietly drops in artificial vanillin flavouring. Decent cocoa-forward bar, but the natural claim is a lie.
Why this verdict
- Marketed as natural/artisanal but contains artificial vanillin flavouring
- Sugar is the #2 ingredient in the chocolate base
- Synthetic flavour added on top of real fennel that could carry the flavour
- Still an indulgent, sugar-and-fat-heavy confection
Ingredients (6)
- Cocoa Mass (safe) — Actual cocoa solids — the legitimate chocolate component.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- Cocoa Butter (moderate) — Natural cocoa fat; fine in small amounts but adds to a heavy saturated-fat load.
- Emulsifier - Soya Lecithin (moderate) — A soy-derived emulsifier used in tiny amounts to smooth texture. Generally well tolerated but a soy allergen and a processing additive.
- FENNEL (safe) — Whole vegetable aromatic.
- Artificial Flavouring substance - Vanillin (moderate) — Synthetic vanilla flavour. Not dangerous, but it's lab-made — and its presence flatly contradicts the product's 'all-natural' marketing.
