Artisanal Belgian Chocolates

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Artisanal Belgian Chocolates scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor, Natural Flavorings. Cocoa Solids: Chocolate 48% Min, White Chocolate 29% Min): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soya Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% of the 9,618 products we've analyzed.
