Why Does This Score Processed?
In our analysis, Thorntons, Dark Chocolate scores Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Mass, Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Chocolate, this is among the less processed 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.
