Green & Black's Organic Dark Chocolate (70% Cacao) — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Green & Black's Organic Dark Chocolate (70% Cacao) by GREEN & BLACK'S ORGANIC TREAT — score 45/90.
A clean, short-list dark chocolate: cocoa mass, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, cane sugar and vanilla, all organic. It's indulgent because of the sugar and cocoa-butter fat, but there's nothing engineered here.
Why this verdict
- Only 5 ingredients, all recognizable and organic
- No emulsifiers, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives
- Cane sugar and cocoa butter make it calorie-dense and indulgent
- 70% cacao keeps sugar lower than milk chocolate, but it's still dessert
Ingredients (5)
- Organic cocoa mass (safe) — Ground cocoa beans, the whole-food base of dark chocolate; carries cocoa flavanols and fiber.
- Organic cocoa butter (safe) — Natural fat from the cacao bean; fine in context.
- Organic fat-reduced cocoa powder (safe) — More cocoa solids for a deeper flavor; a genuine whole-food cocoa ingredient.
- organic cane sugar (concerning) — Straight added sugar; second distinct sweetener in the top three ingredients.
- organic vanilla extract (safe) — Real vanilla flavoring in tiny amounts; harmless.
