Ingredient Score:

This Dove Chocolate Promises Milk Chocolate earns a low green leaf rating of 1/5 on our website, indicating that it is a less desirable choice for those seeking cleaner food options. The product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, factors which detract significantly from its overall healthfulness. Additionally, it includes added sugars, which are best minimized in a nutritious diet.
The presence of potentially harmful additives, such as soy lecithin, further reduces the product’s score. Soy lecithin is often used as an emulsifier but can be a concern for those avoiding soy or seeking less processed ingredients. More critically, the chocolate contains artificial flavoring, which is marked as a known harmful additive. This ingredient alone has a substantial negative impact on the product’s rating.
Moreover, the scoring process mistakenly associates high fructose corn syrup with artificial flavor, which is a separate ingredient not listed in the chocolate. However, this does not alter the final assessment, as the product already reaches the lowest possible score due to the other negative factors.
Consumers looking for cleaner, healthier food products would be well-advised to consider alternatives to Dove Chocolate Promises Milk Chocolate. The factors contributing to its low rating—a lack of organic certification, the inclusion of GMOs, added sugars, and harmful additives—are significant. These ingredients do not align with the goal of providing cleaner food options.
The overall assessment is clear: this product does not meet the criteria for those prioritizing health and ingredient quality in their food choices. The 1/5 green leaf rating reflects the product’s position at the bottom of the scale for health-conscious consumers. It is advisable to seek out higher-rated alternatives that do not contain these undesirable ingredients.
