Name: Excellence Dark Chocolate With Sea Salt
Brand: Lindt & Sprungli Inc.

Munch or Dump rates Excellence Dark Chocolate With Sea Salt by Lindt & Sprungli Inc. TREAT — score 45/90.

A short, simple chocolate list, but sugar is the #1 ingredient and there's an artificial flavor hiding in a 'finest ingredients' bar. Indulgent, not nutritious.

Why this verdict

Sugar is the first ingredient, ahead of the chocolate itself
High saturated fat from cocoa butter plus added milkfat
Artificial flavor in a bar sold on 'finest ingredients'
Short, simple list keeps it an honest treat, not engineered junk

Ingredients (7)

Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
Chocolate (safe) — Cocoa solids bring antioxidants (flavanols); the upside of dark chocolate.
Cocoa Butter (moderate) — Natural cocoa fat; fine in small amounts but adds to a heavy saturated-fat load.
Milkfat (moderate) — Dairy fat adds saturated fat and creaminess; fine in moderation.
Soya Lecithin (emulsifier) (moderate) — Standard chocolate emulsifier to keep the fat and cocoa smooth; widely used, low concern.
Sea Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium for flavor. Fine in moderation, but worth watching if you're salt-sensitive.
Artificial Flavor) (moderate) — Lab-made flavoring with no nutritional value — out of place in a 'finest ingredients' bar.
