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 43/90.

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
