Summary

This product contains unsweetened chocolate and cocoa butter, which are high-quality ingredients with beneficial properties such as antioxidants. However, the presence of allulose, a sugar substitute, indicates a level of processing that prevents it from being considered minimally processed. Despite the clean ingredient list, the processing level limits the score.
