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

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Dove Chocolate Promises Milk Chocolate & Peanut Butter is a food product that falls short of the cleaner food options our website advocates for. This particular chocolate indulgence is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which immediately deducts from its overall health score. The presence of added sugars is another reason for the low rating, as we aim to promote foods with natural sweetness or healthier alternatives to sugar.
The ingredient list reveals several components that raise concerns. Artificial flavors and TBHQ, a preservative, are included and are considered known harmful additives. These ingredients contribute to the product’s low score due to their potential negative health impacts. Soy lecithin, while a common emulsifier in chocolate, is another additive that we find less desirable, especially when non-organic and potentially GMO.
Moreover, the product contains palm oil and its derivatives, which are not only associated with health concerns but also with significant environmental issues related to the deforestation and habitat destruction linked to palm oil production. The inclusion of these oils further diminishes the product’s standing as a cleaner food option.
The use of high fructose corn syrup, although not explicitly listed in the ingredients, is inferred through the presence of artificial flavors, which often contain this sweetener. High fructose corn syrup is another ingredient we score negatively due to its association with various health problems.
Given these factors, the Dove Chocolate Promises Milk Chocolate & Peanut Butter is rated poorly on our scale. The product’s composition, with its non-organic status, GMO ingredients, added sugars, harmful additives, and oils, makes it a choice that does not align with our mission to provide cleaner, healthier food options. We recommend consumers seek alternatives that better meet the standards for health and environmental sustainability.
