Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Lindt, Dark Chocolate scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soya Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 33% of the 9,618 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
