Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Awarded a rating of 1/5 green leaves, the Dove Chocolate Promises Dark Chocolate & Mint Swirl falls short of the standards for cleaner food options set by our website. The product is not organic, does not use non-GMO ingredients, and includes added sugars, which detracts significantly from its score. Furthermore, the presence of potentially harmful additives such as natural flavor, flavor, and soy lecithin, coupled with known harmful additives like Yellow 5 and Blue 1, further diminishes its standing.
The ingredients list reveals several areas of concern. The absence of an organic certification means the product may contain pesticides or other chemicals not permitted in organic farming. The presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is another factor that impacts the score, as there is a growing consumer preference for non-GMO foods. The inclusion of added sugars raises health concerns, as excessive sugar consumption is linked to various health issues.
The additives in the product warrant particular attention. Natural flavors are a broad category and without more specific information, it’s unclear what these may entail. Soy lecithin is often used as an emulsifier but can be problematic for those with soy allergies or sensitivities. The artificial colors Yellow 5 and Blue 1 are synthetic dyes and have been the subject of debate regarding their safety and potential side effects.
Given these considerations, the Dove Chocolate Promises Dark Chocolate & Mint Swirl is not recommended for those seeking cleaner and healthier food options. The low green leaf rating reflects the product’s alignment with additives and ingredients that are less desirable for a health-conscious consumer. Those who prioritize organic, non-GMO, and additive-free foods will likely find better alternatives that align with their dietary values and health goals.
