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

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Dove Chocolate Promises Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter falls short in our evaluation for cleaner food options. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified ingredients, factors that diminish its standing. Added sugars contribute negatively to its score, while the presence of both natural and artificial flavors, along with soy lecithin, raise concerns about potentially harmful additives. The inclusion of artificial flavor and TBHQ, a preservative, is particularly troubling due to their known health risks.
The product also contains palm oil and its derivatives, which are often scrutinized for their environmental impact and potential health implications. Furthermore, the labeling of high fructose corn syrup under artificial flavors is misleading and warrants significant deductions, as this ingredient is associated with various health issues.
The Dove Chocolate Promises Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter’s composition reflects a lack of alignment with the criteria for cleaner, healthier food options. The use of controversial additives, GMOs, and non-organic ingredients are primary reasons for its low green leaf rating. Consumers seeking cleaner alternatives are advised to steer clear of this product, as it represents the lowest tier of our rating system.
The evaluation criteria are rigorous and designed to spotlight products that prioritize health and environmental sustainability. This particular chocolate and peanut butter combination does not meet the standards set forth for a cleaner food choice. The ingredients list reveals a product that relies on questionable additives and processing aids, which detracts from its overall quality and desirability for health-conscious consumers. Therefore, this product is not recommended for those looking to make cleaner food choices in a market saturated with unhealthy alternatives.
