Lindt Excellence Dark Chocolate — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Lindt Excellence Dark Chocolate by Lindt & Sprüngli TREAT — score 45/90.

Just four simple ingredients, but it's still sugar and cocoa fat — an indulgence, not a health food.

Why this verdict

• Only 4 recognizable ingredients, no additives
• Real cocoa mass and cocoa butter, not vegetable fat substitutes
• Sugar is a primary ingredient — indulgent, not nutritious
• Fat- and calorie-dense by nature

Ingredients (4)

• Cocoa Mass (safe) — Real chocolate solids; the one genuinely cocoa-forward ingredient.
• Cocoa Butter (moderate) — Real cocoa fat, but it's one of four refined fats here.
• low-fat cocoa powder (safe) — Defatted cocoa solids — adds depth and more cocoa polyphenols.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar to offset tomato acidity — small but it's still added sugar.
