Analysis updated June 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This product is ultra-processed, which limits its potential health score. While it contains beneficial dark chocolate, the presence of soy lecithin and vanilla flavor as additives detracts from its overall quality. The use of coconut oil is a positive aspect, but the processing level and inclusion of synthetic flavors prevent a higher rating.
