• Processed Fruit Products (Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder (7.8%), Cocoa Mass): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Emulsifiers (Soya Lecithin, E471, E442, Sunflower Lecithin), Thickener (E407)): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
